I have been using the Bob Jones K5 curriculum this past year. I've really liked it, although it is clearly designed for classroom use rather than homeschool use.
I like how they handle learning phonics--- my 4 and 5 year old are reading simple books already, and we're not even close to finished yet. They math seems to be working well so far as well.
What I really liked was that the Bob Jones curriculum had so many extended activities that you could do with your child to reinforce the material. I also liked that the lessons were fairly repetitive in nature--- I was able to set aside the teacher manual on much of it and just go with the flow.
I'd recommend the curriculum--- it's been worth the money, and I feel pretty confident that my kids are getting a really good education from it.
