my kids love this
I love the simplicity of this workbook. i can teach some of the basic concepts of the english language without a complicated lesson plan. its a very open and go workbook
We are enjoying this book. Great daily lessons that are fast and easy. At the end of the week the kids get to create their own story with picture which they love! Each of my kids can do this if course in their own level either writing a couple sentences the best they can or dictating to me and I transcribing their words.
They are enjoying this workbook and I would definitely will buy the next one in the series after this one. Including a funny pic of my daughters work regarding a good and interesting topic- “Dung bugs”. Good for a laugh
We love this and do about 2 pages at a time, then 2 pages plus the journals another day. The prompts are fun and my kiddo really likes to do them.
So simple, little prep time. You may spend a max of 10 minutes on a lesson. It functions great as review work with simplified definitions of what a first grader is already learning. Worth the purchase!
