Homeschooling a Kindergartner? It’s one of my very favorite years of homeschooling! As a former public school Kindergarten teacher, it is most certainly a passion of mine and I am thrilled to share some fabulous resources with you so you can confidently homeschool your own Kindergartner.
This year’s Build Your Bundle is filled with amazing resources which you could use for Kindergarten!
I don’t believe in a strict plan for homeschooling Kindergarten, but take more of a “meet your child where s/he is at” approach. Some Kindergartner’s are at more of a Pre-K learning/developmental level and some are more of a 1st grade+ level. As I share these top picks, be sure to keep your own specific child in mind.

Raising Lil’ Rock Stars Through the Bible A to Z
My very own Raising Little Rock Stars Through the Bible A to Z is a fabulous option for your Kindergartner! New to RLRS? Read this post! This is a curriculum I wrote and it is the one most dear to my heart. So much time went into the writing and creating of this one! If you are looking for a way to bring the Bible into your Kindergarten {or PreK or 1st grade}, while also working through the alphabet, this is a simple way to do it!
THE RLRS Bundle is included in the Early Learning # 2 Bundle, or can be added to a Build Your Own!
DAILY REVIEW
This is a fabulous product and is in the Early Learning #1 Bundle. I love daily review work like this and this product looks great!
MATH
One area to focus on with your Kindergartner is math. You can see my K Math Goals post here.

LITERACY
We fill our Kindergarten year with literacy galore. Reading books, practicing phonics, learning sight words, exploring writing, and everything else in between! I love having a variety of resources to use so I can switch it up if desired. See my Kindergarten Literacy Goals post here.
The BYB is a great way to stock up on resources so you’ll have them if needed!
Sight Words
We used my You Can Read Sight Word program as our base program for memorizing the Dolch Sight Words. These Sight Word products from the BYB would go along perfectly!
Grab these in a pre-made Early Learning Bundle, or add to a Build Your Own!
Sight Word Fluency Mini-Books – Early Learning #1
40 Early Sight Word Readers –Early Learning #2
No-Prep Sight Words-Early Learning #1
Handwriting and Letter ID
Many choose to focus on handwriting skills in Kindergarten and Maze Writer is a innovative and fun way to do this. Maze Writer is included in the Early Learning #1 Bundle
Phonics and Handwriting
Phonics with Penmanship is another great product! You can find Year 1 in the Early Learning #1 and Year 2 in the Early Learning #2.
Word Families
We used our You Can Read Word Families as a fun way to learn word families. This would be a great product to go along with that if you use it! This is a $75 value and is found in Elementary #3.
ALL INCLUSIVE
Looking for something all-inclusive? I found two! There’s a full Charlotte Mason-Inspired Kindergarten Curriculum in the Charlotte Mason Bundle and Kindergarten Complete {$140 value} is in the Early Learning #3 Bundle.
SCIENCE
I love this Learning About Science Collection. Volume 1 would be great to begin using with your Kindergartner. I actually bought this and am using some of it with me 3rd grader, it is a great {and simple} way to expose early science topics.
Take your younger elementary students on an exploration of life science, earth science, and physical science with the Learning About Science Collection, Level 1. These seven books study how plants grow, common fruits and vegetables, animal habitats, senses and body systems, life cycles, the earth’s layers, earthquakes, volcanoes, states of matter, and more.
Sneak a bigger peek into this one in my Facebook video here.
You can find this in Elementary #1
BIBLE & CHARACTER
My absolute favorite is the Grapevine Bible Sampler – we love Grapevine Bible Studies! Grab this in the Early Learning #1. Looking for some charts to help your kids focus on character qualities? Find the Kids Character Charts in the Parenting Bundle.

MORE FUN for Your KINDERGARTNER
Going beyond the basics of literacy and math brings us to a few more fun products to consider for your Kindergartner. We absolutely LOVE Maestro Classics and Peter & the Wolf just happens to be our very favorite. You can grab the MP3 Download and a lapbook to go along in the Fine Arts Bundle!
No-Prep Crafts can be found in Early Learning # 1.
