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.

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!

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!

I ordered several Kumon books for my 3 year old grandson. I am lucky enough to be his childcare provider while my son and his wife work. I was looking for something more than the "Big Book" stuff. These books are excellent. I scanned them onto my computer so that he can practice the exercises he needs a little more work on. His 4 year old brother, who is in preschool also enjoys doing some of the exercises. Great books.

I am using it for a special needs child in my kindergarten class and it is helping him develop his fine motor skill.

I have young twins. One of them will grab these books and a crayon and traces & draws nearly an hour. He won't even watch TV that long. He goes from front to back of the book and when he's done, he starts at the front again. He doesn't even care that he already has drawn on a page, he just traces again over and over. I have bought every book in the series.

My son starting learning how to write lowercase letters in this book when he was 3 almost 4 years old. This book is perfect for teaching children how to write clear lowercase letters and gives them the confidence they need to excel in future writing endeavors. If you're looking for a good writing workbook then look no further. Buy this book! It's focused solely on writing, just what my child needs!

My 31/2 year old loves kumon books . He is done with the upper case letters and he can write all of them on his own now. So we moved onto lower case and he likes these books . (dont forget to tip the kid with lots of appriciation and stickers .!!!! ) . The certifiate at the end makes him feel that he achieved something and that also makes him go. I would definetely recommend this book to the parents .

not only do i love this book, but my 5 year old LOVES it too! he thinks it is fun and is eager to practice. it is not only great for practicing writing the letters but also is a tool for learning the lowercase letters. a must have for kids getting ready for kindergarten!

I was surprised to discover that the ONLY type of activity in this book is tracing letters and writing practice. My 4 3/4 year old needs some practice identifying lowercase letters, but isn't really into writing yet. Other workbooks we have done (cheaper ones from the drugstore) break up writing with other activities for variety. We'll save this one for later, until he's ready for writing practice. The quality of the book is excellent though, it has nice paper and is colorful.
