I ordered the k version for my 4 yr old. We wanted to started homeschooling even though she's only 4 because she wants to, and for "practice" for when things are official in kindergarten. She is way past the abc's/counting/shapes stage. But I didn't want anything rigorous since she's so young, I still wanted it to be mostly fun. The people I have talked with say it is good, but not really "advanced" enough to use as a complete kindergarten curriculum. I plan on switching to something a bit more rigorous when she starts kindergarten. I should be getting it any day now so I'll let you know what I think when I see it, if that helps at all.

I used it for K for my first DD. I agree with BeNotAfraid. The K level would be good for Preschool but it wasn't enough for K. I switched to Alpha Omega Lifepacs for 1st grade and she was way behind on math. For DD2 I added the Lifepacs Kindergarten math book to the My Father's World and that was a little better. I think for DD3 next year I will do it as a preschool package like BNA suggested and buy her a new K package.

My wife started with it, but she's gone to Heart of Dakota.
