Product Description
This workbook helps children learn the shapes of the lowercase letters of the alphabet. Children develop the ability to use a pencil easily by practicing first with easy-to-write letters, like the letter l, and then gradually progressing to more difficult letters, like the letter a. Children will easily learn the shapes and concepts of letters by tracing and writing them again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Resources, July 9, 2007

By	Katherine Wolter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These books are by far the BEST tools I have ever used for my preschool children. It teaches work ethic because they are simple and the children can work on them on there own after giving them instructions once. This is specific to my children who can not read yet. We set the timer for 20 minutes and that is our 'homework' time for my 2 & 4 year old. They love it and I'm teaching them to work independantly.

I can't get enough of these books!

4.0 out of 5 stars really well done, June 11, 2007

By	F. Raider "MommaRaider" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought four Kumon workbooks for my 5 year old. This will be our first year homeschooling and I am totally thrilled. With all of the workbooks there are about sixteen full color pages and after that they are printed in two-color. They are all very well organized, incremental and simply laid out. The illustrations are great - they make the pages interesting but they don't get in the way of the work. Some children might not like how similar every page is to the next, however for my child this will be absolutely perfect! She likes being confident in what she is supposed to do and enjoys doing the same (or similar) thing over and over.
The one thing about this particular book that I don't like is that I don't think it has quite enough review work. It goes like this: two pages of a new letter for three letters, then two pages of review for those three letters. The ten pages of a-z review at the end. I think I'll photocopy the review pages to have her do over.
I love the book and am confident that it will work really well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun way to learn lower case letters, November 24, 2007

By	Mother of all Battles (Waco, TX) - See all my reviews

My 4 year old son learned to write his capital letters last year, and he was ready to learn his lower case letters after starting preschool. He went through this book in 1 week. I never asked him to do his "fun book". He just went to his table and worked on it whenever he felt like it. He had so much fun looking at the great pictures---he didn't think of it as work. Now he just finished the Rhyming Words and Phrases book. Another great Kumon workbook! Highly recommend it!
