This is a very helpful workbook. In the beginning of the year, we do them in class. Once the kids get the hang of it, I send it home as H.W. for extra practice...good morning work, also. Many letter writing workbooks available on the market (and pages that come with reading and phonics series) have too many to trace or not enough. This one fits!! Good job, Scholastic!

Two pages per letter and not boring for the kids. I can print it double sided to save on paper and it's monochrome so it's perfect to do a little coloring. Just the right amount of tracing and free writing. Really nice to have it recognizable to the kids with the Alpha Tales friends. The reason I could not give it 5 stars is because it is suppose to be reproducible pages, but it's not easy to remove the pages for copying. Does not have perforation as I would have expected. I had to remove the binding, which is not a problem for me because I do it regularly with our homeschooling workbooks, but it is a pain.

There are two pages for each letter. Children can trace both capitol and lower-case letters, then practice making the shapes themselves. They identify the letters when jumbled with similar letters and complete alliterated sentences. It's fantastic for helping with letter formation, recognition and phonetic sounds.

My daughter is three. These worksheets have been a wonderful help to her and fun, too! She loves playing "school". The best part is the free copying!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Nice book with good learning style. My only complaint is that the pages don't tear out and since they are printed sideways it makes it difficult for the student to write in them properly. They pretty much have to fold the book over to write in it and when teaching manuscript that isn't the best technique.

my mom surprised me with this when she bought the alpha tales boxed set. i was blasting through the roof when i saw the workbook. it is fun because you get a lot of tracing practice for each letter and the stories match the alpha tales books. and you have fun activites too for each letter. my mom made copies so she could use them for my little brother too. the book said she could do that and now if i mess up she can just copy me another page to do. this book has more times of the letter on it to trace than my other writing book so it is more fun. you should get this book. i am now finished with what i want to say about this one. really - stop typing.

The pages allow students the opportunity to not only trace the letters, but to also write the letter on their own. Older children can benefit from the sentences and words along the bottom. Math is even integrated in this book.

I love this book! It does a fantastic job of guiding students to form the alphabet letters correctly. It also keeps students engaged by requiring them to pick out the target letter among other letters that look similar, and students also have to fill-in-the-blanks and draw a picture of something that begins with the target letter. Each letter practice page refers to the featured animal in the AlphaTales story. I have found so much success in using this book that I have stopped using the practice pages that came with our reading series. My students are more engaged, and their performance has improved. I would definitely recommend this book to all kindergarten teachers, even if you don't own any of the AlphaTales books.

This book is an excellent book for teachers and parents alike. The cover kind of misled me as I thought it was a colour interior, but the black and white worked well as it allowed for photocopying easier.

I didn't like the landscape position of the pages though but I loved the teachers' guide at the front. It works well with the Alphatales Box Set.

These are just the right size letters for my preschooler to practice his handwriting. I love this workbook because it is nice and simple, and inexpensive.
