Get Ready for School: Pre-K Hardcover – May 31, 2016

Love. Love. Love this. My 4 year old also enjoys it. Though it teaches how to write the letters, there are also matching games and puzzles which stimulate the brain but also is a lot of fun and diverse. One thing I did was I ripped out the pages and took them to be laminated, making them dry erase! I punched holes in the edges and keep them in a 3-ring binder. Now, it's not just a one-time investment, my daughter can go over them again and again with dry erase markers. She loves them and asks to do them as an activity. I highly recommend this book. I think the quality of the instruction is great and varied and covers so many subjects. I have been looking for something like this for a long time and am so happy to have found it.

All of the 4 star + reviews are dead on! This book is wonderful and I'm happy to have added it to my resources for teaching my two year old. I truly believe it could be used alone for learning the basics in preparation for pre-school, but when paired with hands-on activities, learning themes, and other media it's a wonderful addition.I'm using it with my two year old. She's pretty far along on the learning curve, but still needs my assistance. She's enthusiastic about the activities in the book. I keep it out of reach only for when I'm working with her otherwise she'd be grabbing it.The illustrations and text are inviting and easy on the eye. The print is large. The context covers so much. I'm glad I came upon it. Would recommend to any parent who is working with their child on fundamentals to learn before entering pre-k or K.My only far-fetched wish is a laminated version - although I could tear pages out and laminate myself....

I have been purchasing pre-K workbooks for grandchildren for a few years and this is my favorite. There are separate sections for different subjects. Subject matter is introduced simply and the book adds new concepts and degrees of difficulty in an orderly fashion. I like that the book is a binder so pages can be removed for ease of use by the children. They can then take the completed pages home.Unlike some books, the information on both sides of the page are related. I will be purchasing this again when the youngest grandchild is ready.

I bought this for my soon to be 3yr old who was always asking to participate in my 5yo daughter's workbooks. Both are in preschool. For my 5yo, I've used several workbooks over the last couple of years, and they are all pretty similar in terms of activities. This one, however, is nicer, because it seems to have more of a progressive nature to the activities. Plus, unlike the flimsy books that get lost among the coloring books (though are better for travelling) the hardcover makes it easier to find, and gives it an "importance" that seems to add to my daughter's sense of accomplishment.

My son enjoys this book. The pages are perforated to tear out easily, which actually I don't like, I'd be fine with something bound, but would be a nice feature if you wanted to laminate them for repeating or if you wanted to post them on the fridge or if you were using the book for multiple kids. The pages are much like worksheets he does in preschool, great for learning letters, numbers, shapes, etc. and tracing skills.

Please, Please, Please, listen to me when I say I have bought MANY preschool books for my 4 year old to work in. This is so far the best one!!!!!!! The second best one I bought was Mead Preschool workbook. However, this book has LOTS of opportunities to practice writing and tracing letters and numbers and it integrates colors into the various lessons. It also reviews seasons, directions, etc...THIS CURICULUM HAS EVERY LESSON YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO BECOME PREPARED FOR AND MASTER PRESCHOOL! I buy many curriculum books so my daughter is always reviewing so I allowed her to write in this book, however if you want to give your child continued repetition and not have to buy anymore curriculum books I suggest making copies OR BUY TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM GOING TO PURCHASE GET READAY OF KINDERGARTEN next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this book and the 1st grade book and I just love them! My boys actually ask to work in their workbooks. These are handy and really perfect for summer. We're keeping their minds sharp, reviewing stuff they learned last year, and giving them a sneak peak of what's to come. All around, A+ for these gems. I will continue to use these while my kids are in school!

This was a perfect addition to our pre-k center in our home. It comes in a sturdy binder and the pages do rip out if you want to save your child's work. All of the assignments were easy to explain and come with fun shapes, animals and other illustrations to keep the child's attention. I highly recommend this book if you are preparing your child to enter school.
