It really depends on what you have . They offer a lot of the items in sets which saves you $...so unless you have a TON of the books already, the best way to order HOD is all at once (saves on shipping due to discounts) and to order things in their sets.

No, it is not a seperate curriculum. Exploration Education has two options - the intermediate guide for the younger ages and the advanced guide for the older students. Science option 2 is all the books plus the advanced logbook and box of supplies for the Exploration Educaton curriculum. Unless you have two students doing the same science, you will not need the add-ons (those are just extra log books).

He is reading well, and I don't think I will finish the Horizon phonics he was doing for 1st grade, because he will cover most of the phonics rules in All About spelling. So I was thinking of starting with the Emerging readers(we have most of these) and then half way switch over to DITHOR. Does this make sense?
You don't do emerging readers with DITHR. However, there is no rule saying you can't start halfway through the ERs and then switch over. We actually started with ERs, stopped for a bit because he wasn't ready, then went back to them, skipped a few because his skills made a big jump, and then started DITHR before the end of Bigger Hearts. I think the best part of homeschooling is being able to make things work for each individual child.
