I have recently started homeschooling my kindergarten daughter. When she started school she was already reading on a level equivalent to the end of the first grade year. She has been bored stiff in school so between her allergies to something in the school and that I have pulled her out. Does any other homeschooling mom or dad have advice for me? Anybody know places where I can get resources. Like an inexpensive book source. I love the abeka stuff, but I don't have the money to pay their prices. I have ebayed some, but it seems I only find bits and pieces of a curriculum. I would like to find a full second grade curriculum for next year without workbooks is fine I can buy new ones. Any ideas?

How DID I set her up for boredom??? Please enlighten me. I taught her how to read early. Are you telling me thats a BAD thing? I didn't ask for advice on how to raise my child I asked for advice from other homeschooling parents who might have some insight.
Do you understand what the situation is? She is reading Charlotte's Web by E.B White. Right now. That is on the 4th grade reading list. She is sitting in a classroom hearing "this is the letter a boys and girls. Can you say a?" Who wouldn't be bored. I teach her everynight different things from what she would learn in school, because I taught her what she's learning in school 2 years ago.
Before you respond please read the post. I realize you have done this mylot thing a lot more than me, but the post clearly stated that she is very advanced and that is the cause of her boredom. Not because school is boring.

Lol, the best thing you can do is read to your child and teach them everything you possibly can because a smart, well educated, respectable child is better then the uneducated, disrespectful one.
