Stay away from the Spiral Method. That is common core crap. Focus on curriculum that uses phonics for learning how to read with SOME site words (the, she, is, at, etc.)
My best friend just started homeschooling her kids. She yanked them out of school (Kindergarten and Preschool) when the teacher read a book with lots of communist messaging in it to the class and was using that as a theme throughout the classroom. It was My Class is a Family. You can find it on Youtube. It's SUPER popular with teachers. They are teaching kids a lie and trying to undermine the importance of family and put a state institution as high of a level as the family in kids' brains so that they trust the authority of their teachers equal to that of their parents. Dangerous.
So she did a ton of research and she is using:
Reading: All About Reading
Spelling: All About Spelling
Math: Math U-See
History: Notgrass History
Science: Apologia
But do your own research and look into the different teaching methods, and make sure you agree with it for your kids. That's what's great about homeschooling. In Public school you are stuck with whatever curriculum THEY choose for your kids. She hasn't started on science/history yet since her kids are so little. But I know the science curriculum she chose is Creationist-based.
