I bought this book for my 3 year old. It has a variety of exercises like tracing letters and numbers, matching, cutting and pasting theme items, size concepts, alike/different concepts, etc. My 3 year old really enjoys it. Minor critique is that some of the pages (tracing letters) are on 2 facing pages (rather than front and back) so that if you tear out the activity page (as we like to do) you lose part of the activity for the next letter. It would have been better if the letters were organized like the numbers where the "assignment" is front and back instead of facing pages. Overall a good product.
I'm a stay at home Dad and taking on the task to educate my youngest . I'm happy to say that this booklet is a great starter . My youngest and I have been working through this book everyday . I have taken on a reviewers idea , which is to use a binder with clear plastic pockets . This has allowed use to use white board eraser pins and am able to continue to reuse the pages out of the booklet . Not only has my youngest enjoyed using the pins but has progressed very well . I really do think that this booklet has what any Pre-K starter needs . I'm very pleased and impressed with my youngest achievements . I would diffidently recommend this well put together booklet for your Pre-K starter . I will look onto Scholastic for more educational booklets.
My 4 year old grandson is the only one who wasn't getting homework and he felt left out. He loves, loves, loves, doing this book. He started to build confidence in his ability to come up with answers by thinking things out and following instructions. This book became a friendly, fun, learning experience. I'm usually ready to quit before he is. He enjoys doing the work in this book.
I was very excited to receive this book and was extremely disappointed in the format of it. It looks like test prep for preschoolers. "Bubble in the answer" They are little kids! I honestly don't think a 4 year old has any business bubbling in anything! They should be working on skills- writing, coloring, math, cutting, not bubbling in answers. Highly inappropriate for this age group, if you ask me. I am a former teacher and this just really disappoints me. I will be returning this item.
Loves to do the educational puzzles and similarity and opposites and the coloring puzzles. Some of it requires guidance from parents, but a kid can learn to do many of these on their own.
One of the better workbooks I've seen. This book has everything, including little review sections and fun certificates of completion. I purchased one for my son, and now for my niece. This is more than just letters and numbers. There is critical thinking, cut and paste, handwriting (through mazes and other activities) and so much more. The pictures are engaging and colorful, and it progresses as you continue through it. We will be purchasing more of these as my other kids get older.
I work in a special education class and was looking for an extra tool that I could use to further challenge my students in both reading and math. I have gone through the entire workbook and I am very pleased with everything it contains. I like this workbook and I know we will put it to good use.
My 3 yr old is very interested in the easy to learn pages of this book. It's colorful and challenging for him.
