Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1994 | Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

Practice little letters one at a time. This Lowercase Alphabet workbook from the Get Ready! series will help your child practice tracing and writing lowercase letters, which is an essential first step in learning to read. Plenty of bright-colored critters make it more fun! Plus, the illustrations will encourage your child to pronounce object names. Finish-the-word exercises help with beginning, middle, and ending sounds.

With a pencil or crayon, and perhaps just a bit of coaching from you, your child will practice and learn for many happy hours. Its slim, 32-page size is great for packing into totes and luggage.

About the Author

School Zone Publishing Company began as The School Zone Learning Center in 1972. The Learning Center was a retail teachers supply outlet, specializing in sales to teachers, with two stores in Grand Rapids, Michigan. About 1974, schools instituted changes in educational methods that affected the home and schools. Changes included introducing new teaching methods in math and English and eliminating workbooks provided on a shared basis for home use. With these changes, parents experienced difficulty finding educational material for use at home. Local parents turned to the Learning Centers, requesting workbooks and other at-home teaching aids. In response, the Centers formulated six workbooks and printed 1,000 copies of each. The books sold out in six months. An expanded workbook series was developed and received equally enthusiastic acceptance. School Zone Publishing Company was incorporated in 1979. A new line of workbooks had been written and illustrated by late 1979. In January 1980, the line was printed and School Zone began operations. Market response was extremely favorable. The product line has expanded yearly and currently includes almost two hundred educational products.

I bought a bunch of the books in this series. Mainly, because I wanted free shipping. However, these books really are great. They are beautifully illustrated, bright wonderful colors. Have great activities and are a great way to help parents who would like to expand their child's base but may not know how to go about doing so directly. Great books, great prices. I plan on buying the rest of the titles and stashing away a few for gifts. Excellent purchase!

Pretty simple, doesn't give a lot of good practice area, but worth the price. Good for an extra activity or addition to homeschooling materials.

My 4-year-old loves these, we purchased several, all of them were great. Definitely a bargain for a dollar or two. However, I would not pay more than $2 for each one of these. They aren't worth more than that.
