 Give Your Child a Headstart !!! September 19, 2008
This is a great preparatory book for parents of a first-grader...simple, direct and informational. Another 'must' read for parents with children about to start school and also children in grades K-8 is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. It covers all those important social skills that all children need to learn and be empowered with to get along with others. Buy both of these books and your child can't help but be successful and love school.
Fantastic book of ideas for early learning February 20, 2008
My family loves this book. We have been introduced to characters that we weren't familiar with and to new ideas of fun ways to learn together. We pull the book out almost every day.
Love this book January 12, 2008
I use this book as a guide for homeschooling my son. We have been through the Kindergarten one as well. I have loved everything about them and so does my son. They are perfectly written at age appropriate level.
