What every first grader needs to know to ensure success in school.

This book has over 200 grade specific activities that reinforce skills appropriate for a first grade student.

Both teachers and parents benefit from the variety of pages provided in this book.

A parent can use the book to work with his or her child to provide an introduction to new material or practice and reinforce material already familiar. As your children master these skills, they become better prepared for homework, class assignments, and tests.

Similarly, a teacher can select pages from this book to provide additional practice for concepts taught in the classroom. When tied to what is being covered in class, pages from the book make great homework reinforcement. Practice sheets help build the confidence necessary for success.

The activities are written, tested, and approved by teachers.

The book is divided into sections by curriculum area including:

  • Language Arts - This section provides pages covering phonics, spelling, grammar, usage, and reading and writing skills.
  • Math - Focuses on increasing students' number sense. In addition to practicing counting, one-to-one correspondence, and number names, students are introduced to addition and subtraction, as well as a variety of other mathematical areas such as measurement, geometry, patterns and fractions.
  • Social Studies and Science- These sections are designed to provide students with specific practice identifying concepts related to these areas of the curriculum.

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.
