This is what my daughter needed. One of my girls has just flat out rejected reading. She says it's too hard. She can't do it. She doesn't want to do it. On and on it goes. She excels in hearly every other area, but for whatever reason, reading hasn't come easy to her. Flashcards don't work for her, because she just memorizes the order of the 30 cards, knows all the words, without reading them. Shuffle the cards and it becomes a fight and she struggles.Now, we come to this book. Of course, she fought it at first, but when I had her listen to the instructions and she saw that it starts simple with concepts she can easily grasp, she was on board. She doesn't have to be forced to work through the book. She asks to work through the book. She enjoys it and she completes tasks that have her identify words. It's very basic, but it's a beginning and gives her a fantastic sense of accomplishment. She needed encouragement and this book, with some patience on our part, has provided it. I'm so thankful for this book. "Homework" with my daughter hasn't been a fight. It's been easy and rewarding with this book as we prepare for First Grade. I trust that this positive reinforcement will help us as we head into the school.Update: My daughter is now reading and is excited by reading. Of course, a great deal of the thanks goes to her mother and her first grade teacher working with her over the last few months, but it started with this book.
I really like this book. Pages are nice and colorful and look fun. I especially like the use of photography in this instead of just illustrations of cartoons like most books. Worksheets seem easy enough but also some challenging ones too. I think the book does a great job at being "fun"
I am using this book with a kindergarten student who has been struggling to build a lexicon of sight words. I have been using this book for a little over a month now and am beginning to see a difference in my student's ability to remember sight words. I like this book because it is full of fun activities that help my student remember sight words. I use this book in conjunction with another text I bought from entitled 100 Write-and-Learn Sight Word Practice. I have been introducing sight words using 100 Words Kids Need to read by !st Grade and reinforcing them with a sight word page from 100 Write-and-Learn Sight Word Practice where the focus is on tracing, writing the sight word, cutting and pasting the word in a sentence, and writing the word in your own sentence. Both texts compliment each other. My student is enjoying the learning process and is starting to build a lexicon that she can use when asked to read little decodables. Both texts are confidence builders for this student and are lessening the linguistic intensity of the learning task.
I will first state that I bought this for my 4 year old not for a child entering first grade to enhance the learning of the 30 words he already knows, so it was a little advanced in context for him but probably genuinely on the money for a child entering first grade. This book involves a great deal of reading and guidance and is not self explanatory to a child who cannot already read and involves a heavy amount of writing and filling in the blanks. While it offers some unique repetition for a portion of the words in the book and all do promote learning it is definitely misleading to think that this is going to train a child adequately on even half of 100 words. It concentrates on a fraction of these words and the remainder are listed on the first page. This is a nice supplemental book but certainly not a stand alone teaching aid.
I bought this book for my son who is in kindergaten, within 1 week he has already completed half of the book.He can read all the words in group 1 thru 4 .I amazed at how fast he is reading.He is very excited to do his assignment.Please buy if your child is struggling with reading.I read the words in the groups first with him then we complete the assignment and again after I have him read me all the words in the group.
I have mostly unschooled my 6-year-old daughter. She is very bright and eager to learn, so she has mostly self-directed her learning. She is also not very cooperative when I try to lay out lesson plans, so I didn’t know if this book would be used by her or not. When we started with this book, she could read about 20%-25% on her own. After a week of working through the activities (along with some flash cards), she could read almost all of them on her own. And she had fun doing it. I sat alongside her for most of the activities, but many were the type I could read the directions and then leave her alone while she completed them.The words presented in this book are common, everyday ones that kids probably *should* know by 1st grade. The activities included are fun and attractive to my daughter. There is a good combination of reading, listening to directions, coloring, and writing. I think this book has helped with the hurdle of learning to read and she no longer feels so “stuck.” I’m very glad I purchased this book, and I am very pleased with how much my daughter took to the layout and the illustrations.I purchased this book at full price as a personal purchase for my daughter.
