Customer Reviews

These books are great for summer learning!

I started using these books when my now 7 year old was 5. He loves them and they are great for practicing math or whatever subject you choose. We like to use them during the summer to keep the subject matter fresh for the next school year. There is a little achievement certificate at the end of each workbook which my son just loves to fill out. This series is especially nice for small children just learning new skills such as tracing or learning their numbers etc... I recommend the whole line.

No frills workbook, but excellent practice!

This is a basic book of addition. It reviews addition systematically, meaning a child practices 3 pages of adding 1 to numbers, then 3 pages of adding 2 to numbers, and so on, all the way up to 9. There is no instruction, there is no variety, but I really like Kumon's systemic approach. I gave it a 4 because it is so no frills (no color, 20 problems per page in 2 columns), which meant that my preschooler rarely wanted to do it voluntarily (unlike say, the Evan-Moor series of workbooks which he would happily finish in a week). My preschooler, btw, is a sibling of homeschooled children so he will ask, "Where's MY math book?" when his siblings are doing math -- otherwise I wouldn't see the need to introduce this book to a 4 year old. In fact, the recommended ages are 5, 6, and 7. Anyway, if you are looking for a math practice book, this is a good straightforward one, but I would definitely supplement it with other activities and workbooks to add variety and increase interest.
