Great book covering most of the curriculum of first grade grade for homeschooling or summer practice love the sticker the map and brain boxes explain really clear the subjects most of the activities my first grader could do by herself

I bought this book to help keep my boyfriends young daughter in the habit of school work on her summer vacation between kindergarten and first grade. At first when I told her she was going to do some work when she came over she was resistant to the idea. But once she saw the book, she immediately opened it, picked a page and started working. For her, it looks fun, unlike the xeroxed copies she got at school, these pages are in full color. It seems more like a fun activity book or game to her than "schoolwork." The pictures are cute, there are lots of animals and fun scenes, sometime I see her going through the book just to look at the pictures. Like I said I bought this book to keep her in the habit of working and thinking, and this book does the trick. Much of the book is phonics and letters, which were much to easy for her, but this didn't really bother me. In fact it encouraged her because she was able to complete whole pages without having to ask for help. Now that we're getting to the part where she writes sentences, I feel it is more at her level. There is also math stuff, which they present in such a way that it seems like your playing games {Example: Which monster is taller? The picture shows two monsters standing by rulers, if your child can count and knows which numbers are greater than others, they'll find the answer.} There is also a science section, one page has the child color everything in the picture that is a plant green. The concepts are easy to understand and are fun. Some of the activities she is able to complete on her own, but needs more of an explanation from me. For example, the which monster is taller exercise required me to explain to her how we use rulers to measure different things in different ways. But that's all part of teaching, you cant expect a single book to teach everything without any guidance from you! In the back of the book, there are answers, stickers and a certificate of completion. She's already looking forward to getting the grade 2 version of the book!

It's a great workbook covers alot. She's engaged in it which means it's interesting for her

This is a solid, comprehensive workbook with great content and excellent value for the price. However, I believe it should be more clearly disclosed on the product page or cover that the revised edition teaches singular “they/them” pronouns. As noted by Rainbow Resource (a major homeschool supplier), it explicitly states: “We can use he, she, or they as a singular pronoun,” complete with a “Brain Box” sidebar. Parents should be aware of this update before purchasing.

My child is doing great with this book

I'm a tutor I run out of ideas sometimes but this one has a variety of exercises.

Of all the 1st grade workbooks we have, this is probably the most basic. There is nice use of color and pictures to make it more fun to a small child and the font is large and not intimidating. The first 160 pages are all language. It starts with writing single letters to put at the beggining of each word that makes the word match its picture, then has the child sort words based in if it has soft and hard sounds for certain letters such as g and c. Then end a word correctly with b or d, m or n, t or p, ll or l, and ss or s. It has your child identify short vs long vowel sounds. Then it's fill in the blank in the sentence with the correct word from the box for many many pages. On page 112, we start writing sentences with correct capitalization and punctuation. Then there are about 8 or 9 very short stories (3 to 6 sentences each) that the kid has to pay attention to to answer basic questions about. Then there is simple sentence writing for 11 or so pages. Then a few pages of looking at related pictures and deciding the correct sequence of the event. There are many pages of simple addition and subtraction, some with pictures but some with numbers. Counting, groups of 10 and number placement, comparing numbers and deciding which is larger, some basic charts, shapes, measuring, very basic time telling, some coin counting, and a few pages of science. Overall, I'd recommend this book but it is very basic so if you want more variety, find another 1st grade book to supplement this one.

Es un libro de trabajo que recomiendo mucho! Lo usan los niños nativos en USA. Pero aunque no sepas mucho ingles, detrás tienes las soluciones de los ejercicios! Hay diferentes temas de trabajo: Spelling, Reading, Language Arts, Time and Money, Social Studies, Science. Mi hija le encanta! Las paginas son grandes con dibujos divertidos que se explican solos! ES lo que mas me gusta! Esta dividido por temas! AL final vienen unas pegatinas de recompensa para el trabajo que son muy divertidas: Super, Cool, Good job, Brainiac, Excellent...

Extremely helpful book!

O material é para fase de alfabetização. Tem conteúdos até de matemática, porém tudo em língua inglesa. Muito bom para crianças que já estão alfabetizadas em língua portuguesa ou que terão uma alfabetização bilíngue. O livro é leve, tem respostas dos exercícios, jogos, pôster e cartelas de adesivos. Indicação do IG @educandoeevangelizando. Super aprovado!

Great, varied exercises that keep my 5 year old interested and challenged. Excellent preparation for schule.The questions varies and it is very easy to use. We are happy. TOP!!!!

This is a great learning/teaching tool. Great review for summer for kids that are used to a schedule and school time. Covers LOTS of subjects. Really challenges kids to learn.
