First Grade  This teaching resource is designed to facilitate the teaching of basic pre-reading skills through the use of activity-based worksheets. The pre-reading skills addressed include fine motor skill development, matching, patterning, left-to-right directionality, sequencing, letter recognition and formation, consonant and vowel sound usage, visual discrimination, and phonemic awareness. Activity pages can be completed easily using crayons, pencils, scissors, and glue. Each activity is designed to give students practice with a specific reading-readiness skill while simultaneously enhancing fine motor skill development through coloring, tracing, cutting, and pasting. Award certificates are included to recognize achievement. Praise and recognition of skill mastery encourage students to be self-motivated and gain confidence necessary to attempt new skills.

Testimonials I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L. The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H. My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M. I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M. They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M. I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be
so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
