Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The first workbook of this curriculum-linked, classroom-proven series from JumpStart features a bouncy bunny named Hopsalot and a few of his adorable animal pals to guide kindergarten-age kids through the world of letters, storytelling, math readiness, reading readiness, health and safety, time and measurement, science and nature, and more. The 320-page workbook contains an entire year's worth of exercises, with three different skill levels for "jumping" ahead. Every page has a new, sequenced challenge for the young learner, such as tracing and writing lowercase letters, matching word parts to make compound words, or measuring giraffes and cartons of milk. Full-color art and lively games and activities make education an adventure, while reward stickers and Certificates of Completion reinforce children's sense of accomplishment as they complete each section. Helpful Hopsalot shows up regularly to offer support and advanced learning tips to students. Includes answer keys, 120 full-color stickers, and a URL for the JumpStart Web site. When kids are ready, they can jump on up to the next level, Jumbo JumpStart Workbook: First Grade. (Ages 4 to 6) --Emilie Coulter

My children are homeschooled and this workbook has been the best thing we ever bought. I love the fact that they stick with the theme for a while instead of jumping from subject to subject every page you turn. The sticker reward system is a great idea, my kids love that. This book really is excelloent!

This book is incredible. My daughter just turned four (going from 3 yr to 4 yr preschool) and is starting 4 year preschool. I looked for a Jumpstart preschool workbook to spend hot summer afternoons indoors, however, I could not find one as it was out of stock. So, I got her the Jumpstart Kindergarten workbook for her summer holidays. I must say the progress she has made from Memorial day to Labor Day has been incredible. A few sections are a little advanced for her age as these are kindergarten exercises, but today I think thanks to the book, she is far more advanced than her other 4 year old friends in her thinking, her knowledge, etc, and used her summer very productively. Thank you Jumpstart. I recommend this book to everyone who wants their children to spend a few hours of productive time everyday.

Me and my todler really love this book,the activities really tests the childs I.Q and also teaches him or her alot in a fun way.The child doesn't feel pressured.Most of the activities are really very simple and easy to understand,the child immediately picks up what he is required to do instead of being told or explained.The book is very colorfull which attracts the child most.One thing I and especially my toddler love about the book is that he gets rewarded every time he finishes the task by picking specific stickers and sticking it in the basket or the certificate when he finishes a section.All in all, the book is a treasure, and a fun way of teaching the child, the basics.
