Allie & David F “With being home due to Covid and having a kindergartner, I thought it might be a good idea to get this workbook to practice until she can return to school. So I bought a few different workbooks on online store to see if she liked any of them, here’s my thoughts on this one:

1. The pages are black and white with little to no artwork.

2. The instructions can be lengthy and require constant supervision (fine but you need to be around to read each part, difficult for them to work independently).

3. The pages repeat themselves with very little creativity, I get that you want to get the child to repeat writing the alphabet but doing the exact same formatted challenge for every letter of the alphabet is a bit boring.

Skip this one. There’s a couple on here that are cheaper that she actually loves to do, that have colorful pages with pictures and have varying challenges. Kids need exciting and colorful, new and creative—not this book.”

K&C “I bought this for my 2nd grader who has seriously struggled with sight words and reading basics.

This has been a brilliant handwriting and sight word practice book. The consistent pattern really helps her. We trace the word while saying it, then write the word, then practice the word in a sentence, find the word, read the cute rhyming cuplet using the word, color the picture, then write a sentence using the word and make a picture to go with it. It’s the perfect mix of fun and work while really helping to reinforce the word.

I was originally going to buy a different handwriting book to do along with this book, but decided to just stick with this one. This is not a book for children who do not read or write! Some basic skills are required.

The reason I’m only giving it 4 stars is because all the words are in alphabetical order, which makes going chronologocally illogical because some easier words are later and harder words are earlier. Which would be fine, IF they had a table of contents, which they don’t. That makes using the book in conjunction with other sight word material much more difficult, because I have to put sticky notes to mark the pages we’ll be doing that day, since I can’t reference a page number (there are none).

I have absolutely zero regrets about buying this book, though, and absolutely would do it again. Don’t let the more “girly” cover fool you – this book is great for boys or girls.”
