Thanks so much for the advice. My instinct is to go with the YBCR, perhaps because my own children did not enjoy the HOP (which I purchased orginally purchased for my LD son). I realize that this is just a starter program.

In order to qualify for Kindergarden these days the kids have to be able to do so much. In my day the only requirement was that you turned five by a certain date. Now, if they cannot write their own name, count to 20, and many other things they are stuck in a Prep-K class. I remember being shocked when I was a student teacher's aid when my younger cousin was in Kindergarden, they were already doing multiplication! We painted with pudding and had naps.
