I'm a mom to a bright 3yo (in January). I hadnt planned on HS so early but she is leading me on this path. We have worked on some things the past months(Singapore math 1a/1b and motor skills) to get into the school groove and I want to start LifePacs this coming school year.
I have not decided if we want to start with K or if we should go to 1st grade. The assessment online is 3rd grade and above. I just don't want to buy something too easy/hard for her. The biggest obstacle at this point is she can not read/write, nor do I expect her to.

Mastered
Recognize all letters and numbers up to 29
Counts to 40 alone, 100 with help at 50,60,70etc
Colors/shapes, some 3D IE. pyramid, cube
Letter sounds
Sounds out 3 letter words
Sight word families -AT, -IT, -AN
Spell her and her sisters name
Sequencing, sorting, grouping
I must be missing stuff.
Any suggestions on which set we should start off with, K or 1st. I want to keep up with her but I don't want to push her.

Thanks

AOP has their scope and sequence online, which will tell you what each grade level covers and what each lifepac in each grade level covers.
Check it out and see where YOU want to begin.
I wouldn't go to second, though, it involves lots of reading.
the beauty of homeschooling is even if you get the first grade and you find she doesn't possess the maturity to handle some of the content, you can slow down and make sure she gets it and then move on.
A three year old working on first grade material has lots of time to get it, lol.
You will probably find she excells in certain things and moves at a more average pace in others. All kids do.
You are wise to jump through this learning window while it's there.

I would do a little bit more with her just to make sure she has the basics all right then I would send her strait to 1.
