What every kindergartner needs to know to ensure success in school.

This book has over 200 grade specific activities that reinforce skills appropriate for a kindergarten 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 a great variety of practice working with letters, sounds, and words.
  • Color - By coloring the pages in this section, students can continue to develop their fine motor coordination.
  • Math - The activities in this section invite students to explore and practice math concepts with a strong emphasis on number sense. Students also practice counting, grouping objects, one-to-one correspondence, shapes, patterns, measurement, telling time, and an introduction to addition and subtraction.
  • Basic Skills - This section is devoted to helping children practice and develop skills such as tracking, matching and classifying objects, opposites, visual discrimination, and sequencing.

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.
