Great for learning to spell

I brought this book to help my 7 year old learn the spelling of sight words. He already knows how to read these words through other books. In this book there are a lot of writing exercises with colorful pictures. There are also other activities, for example coloring and reading. The presentation is great for not only learning to read and write these words, but also how they are properly used. For example, boy and girl are presented together along with he and she. Has and goes are presented together. "The boy has a sled. He goes to the hill." Although I had originally purchased the book to teach my son to learn to read, I did not like it as much for that goal. Instead I used Dolch Sight Word Activities: Grade K-1, Volume 1 and Spectrum Dolch Sight Word Activities, Volume 2 (Spectrum Dolch).

Learning With Gram

My six year old grandson is staying with me for the summer and we have school everyday unless we have something planned. He is really enjoying this book and learning new words. I hope to complete it by the end of the summer. We like the pictures in the book. It helps him stayed interested and focused.

Great book

I found this book very helpful during our summer to keep my kids active with work. The workbook is layed out nicely and is helping my children prepare for the upcoming school year. It is simple to use and has some fun activities. This is the second time I have purchased this book and I also got one for 3rd grade. Love it.

Helping kids learn to read

My 5 year-old grandaughter is enjoying this book so much. She is racing through it. Her parents are homeschooling her so I sent this book to assist with her learning to read.

actually got my son to put a pencil to paper...

My son who is 5 and a half, and a fairly avid reader, is not the type to sit and spend time writing, or doing boring rote and repetitive workbooks. With this book, he is eager and happy to work for about 30 minutes at a time. There is a nice mix of writing, coloring, drawing pictures, matching exercises, word searches and crossword activities to keep the book interesting. My son attends a non-didactic kindergarten, so I will use this book and the "100 words for 2nd grade" to prepare him for grade 1. I agree with the previous reviewer that this book is ideal for a kindergartener, and the grade 2 book is more appropriately targeted to a first grader.
