My kindergartener breezed through it. He's developing bad habits that aren't being corrected at school, such as starting his letters from the bottom. I got him this book to help him remedy this problem. It was easy for him to write in the book, and he did it well, but as soon as he started to write in another place, he went back to his old ways. He was to create a practice notebook where he would write down things like "up like a helicopter", "magic c's", etc. With the extra practice, I am confident that he will become more adept at understanding what these patterns are One cannot fully understand a book by simply reading it.
Although the printing is good, it seems to have problems. Most of the pages lack the page numbers, and all of them have the print It's a little challenging to teach students to start at the bottom corner of a page when part of it has been cut away. There has not been a problem with previous books from this series, but beware of printing problems.
But I was able to read it after a short while. I am struggling with the fine motor skills of my first-grader, whose handwriting is illegible and which has poor handwriting. A teacher at the school uses these books with him on the physical therapy floor. This book was purchased for the summer, and I had my son practice handwriting at least three times a week for 15 minutes each time. The manner in which he forms his letters has greatly improved. The handwriting he produced after just three months of working on it for 15 minutes three times a week is near grade level now. A lot of time and effort is spent explaining how each letter should be formed in the book.
Letters with tails are more difficult to comprehend and copy for children. Block letters are easier to understand and copy. I think this is the favorite book of my son.
Until last week, our youngest was in preschool. The Children's Writing Handbook is a great resource, including everything you'll need to teach your child to write. Our oldest started learning how to write immediately after receiving the book.
Other books in the same series have been a great help and I highly recommend them. As opposed to introducing letters in alphabetical order, this particular book offers the child a sense of flow of letters as they are grouped, so the book is more logical and pedagogical. A child can easily decode each letter with the help of an accompanying picture, and every letter has a simple word that is easy to decode. However, the most important thing is that the children enjoy themselves.
In this year's school year I have been homeschooling my 5 year old. Despite its simplicity, the topics covered in my daughter's homeschool curriculum did not serve the purpose of teaching her how to write. Despite the little lessons provided, I could tell that she was having difficulty following their instructions. Thus, I decided to try this, and I honestly hadn't expected anything to come of it. This has been a great help, by the way! This class teaches about the natural world in a way she completely understands and is able to This is a great book for preschoolers! I would recommend it to everyone I know! Bringing my two other little ones to the bookstore when they are ready to write will definitely necessitate a repurchase.
