2.0 out of 5 stars some good tips, March 15, 1999

Just finished scanning this book. As a home schooler, it seems to have a very good list of phonics facts. I did find however the continuous references to war and violence when the author was illustrating a point-a bit - no, very tiresome. Perhaps the gulf war was of special interest to the author or perhaps it was a conscious effort to make the book appear timely. In my humble opinion it was just plain annoying.

As a Canadian, I found bits and pieces of useful information. I will NOT use this book as my only resource - but will keep it for reference.

2.0 out of 5 stars A fair start, but I probably won't use it to teach my son., August 29, 1999

I too found the constant references to the Gulf War tiresome. I also found some factual errors (koalas are not bears) and a few words that were spelled wrong. I will use the book as a reference, but will find other books to use, also.

This book was give to me second hand since we are a homeschooling family. This book scared the heck out of me. It has numerous comments in it that are aimed towards war, violence, the Gulf War... I wonder if this book intended a motive other than educational.

I also find the book to be not so much about learning, but more about memorizing facts. Not knowing the information behind the facts. And as far as what a child "should know" per grade level is pretty much underestimating children today. As a homeschooling family, we certainly are beyond most of the grade level tasks suggested.

As much as I hate tossing books to the trash, this one isn't worthy of anyone, and I wouldn't dare pass it along!
