Customer Reviews

Excellent for reluctant students

Don't underestimate the simplicity of these books. If your child is reluctant to pick up a pencil or crayon, then these simple books will charm and entice them to do so. I was concerned that our 4 your old would not touch a crayon. He avoided all activities that involved holding a pencil or crayon at all. I started him on these books and with very few complaints we have zipped on through them and he is now beginning the Simple Sentences book (at age 6). We have used these as a pre-school/K5 curriculum for him and he has blossomed. I have also used the Dollars and Cents and Telling Time books for his older sister to reinforce math concepts that seemed to escape her. Highly Recommended!

Good Confidence Builder

I bought this coloring book to try and encourage my daughter to color. She's 3 and never seemed to have any interest in it. I read another review stating how it starts them out with small spaces to color in and how that seems to be less daunting to a child than coloring an entire blank page. Also, the spaces to color start out surrounded by an area in the same color so that any mistakes aren't as noticeable. The required coloring spaces eventually get bigger and more detail oriented as your child gets better at controlling the crayons/markers. This has accomplished exactly what I'd hoped by encouraging my daughter. Now coloring is one of her favorite things! I also purchased several other books from the Kumon series and have been extremely pleased with the results so far.

Great workbooks for young kids

These Kumon workbooks are great! I find that my barely 2 year old is a bit young for them, but they will probably be appropriate when he is closer to 2 1/2. My 4 year old loves them just as much as the "older" Kumon workbooks. I have used these as an intro to cutting/pasting/printing since he is not attending 3 year old preschool. Turns out they are a great mother/son time together as we work through the pages. The books are progressively difficult so the kids don't get discouraged trying something too hard straight off and then not being interested in subsequent activities.

fun book for kids
