Customer Reviews

Great for summer/vacation time/sick days
I have to say, I do like these books (was first given them by a teacher friend). I use these books during vacation time, when the kids are out due to illness, etc. My oldest (now 6) has always enjoyed and asked to sit down and do 'these' books (any others he wasn't as involved). I have purchased the Pre-K, Kindergarten and First grade. I must say, however, that I liked the books better before this new publishing company. The ISBN number remained the same, although they chose not to keep the Social Studies in the book, BIG mistake, I think. The books include spelling, letters, math, shapes and patterns, and pages tear out. It is nice to be able to go through one book and pull out different areas of learning (another reason why the SS was great, and it covered every holiday, taught about Presidents et al). For eliminating this, I give it 4 stars.

Clear, straightforward, wide range of skills and engaging
I have tried a number of 'curriculum' books for my easily-distractable 4 and 1/2 year old. Most of them do not engage her attention, and if they do, they dont seem to really focus on anything with any kind of clear objective. I really like this book, and so does she. It is clear, brightly coloured, calls for a range of skills, is very clear for the parent too (ie why I am bothering to try and get her to do some of this stuff), and has no bribery frills (stickers etc) that I find become her sole desire instead of a motivation at the end of completion. I would definitely recommend this. It is NOT, however, the ONLY thing you would want to do for your kid as a homeschool tool - I think it is a great basis for making you confident you're covering the basics.

Great for Review
Although I would not recommend this book for Home-schoolers to use as their primary curriculum, this book is great for extra practice or to use as a review. For the Price, this book is a combination of workbooks put together adding a little flavor of history and science
