2019 Kindergarten Kit Items

Why We Wrote These Guides for You We are often asked about the documentation included in our Curriculum Kits, and with good reason. You know that your curriculum handbook will set the tone for the year and you want to make sure it will be a good fit for your family. With that in mind, we wanted our curriculum handbook to be extremely simple, easy to use, and promote independent study as early as possible. Our guides are designed to get you up and running—today—without being overwhelming, boring, or confusing. So What Exactly Do You Get And What Does It Look Like? Each Curriculum Kit comes with its very own Curriculum Handbook; a soft-cover, 8.5" x 8.5" manual, easy for you to reference as needed without being cumbersome or overwhelming. New this year, you'll find a reading challenge in every grade level. It is made to allow you to choose what challenge level will work for you - Light Reader, Avid Reader, Committed Reader, or Obsessed Reader - all of the information is included in the handbook. Handbook length varies depending on the grade. For instance, the PreK Handbook contains a 36-week science course supplement, so it is significantly longer than the 7th Grade Handbook with no supplemental additions. If You're Purchasing A Guide Outside of a Kit This guide comes completely free with its respective curriculum kit. However, at your insistence, we've made them available for purchase by phone as well. Please note that due to the proprietary nature of these books, they are non-returnable. (If you have any questions about the contents, please don't hesitate to contact us to inquire before you purchase this non-returnable item!) Each handbook you purchase comes with access to our custom scheduling site. Simple Is Better We really believe that, so your guide is as simple as we could make it. First up are the annual planner and weekly checklists, the absolute backbones of Timberdoodle's Curriculum Kits. More on those in a moment. Next up are short bios of each item in your kit, ideal for refreshing your memory on why each is included or to show Dad exactly what your kindergartner will be covering this year. We've also thrown in our tips or tricks to make this year more awesome for all of you. Finally, we'll conclude with favorite articles and tidbits amassed in our 30+ years of homeschool experience. Annual Schedule PlanningNow back to the most important part: schedules. Included with your handbook purchase will be access to the Timberdoodle Scheduler site, which will allow you to customize your schedule the way you want it. You can do things such as customizing your start date and number of weeks, including building in vacation weeks; add or remove items or alternating courses; adding custom courses; printing recommended checklists; adding lesson numbers; and choosing which courses you want to do on which days. You can also easily add in a second student or teacher. If your schedule changes mid-year, no problem, you can add things in or adjust it when you need to, and can print it in large font for the little ones to see so they can be more involved. Even pre-readers usually love crossing things off their list, and this takes you away from micromanaging your students while encouraging them to be responsible for their own work. In our experience a weekly checklist is the perfect blend of enough structure to finish in a timely fashion and enough freedom that your adventures won't make for stressful catch-up days. You’ll also find a standard paper copy in your handbook. How We Used Checklists In our own family we had a family night every Friday, but only those with their lists done were welcome to be a part. I think each child had to have at least one week where the realization would sink in that it is Friday, and no schoolwork has been done yet. After doing math while everyone else was having fun, time-budgeting became a much more relevant concept! And, of course, learning to be an independent learner is an invaluable lesson in itself! More Manuals Are Included Of course, you'll also find all the necessary teachers' manuals and program-specific resources you need included in each Homeschool Curriculum Kit. Our curriculum handbook is not meant as a substitute for those manuals, but rather as a helpful summary and planning guide to get you up and running.

2019 Kindergarten Handbook + Scheduler

Level 1: All About Reading Level 1 will gently take your child from not knowing how to read to skillfully reading the included fun chapter books. Using dozens of activities and games, plus 52 integrated, and fully decodable phonics-based stories, All About Reading Level 1 takes the guesswork out of beginning to read. Children will learn letter sounds for A-Z, plus some consonant teams such as TH, NG, and more. Stories start very simple, "Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap the jam," with illustrations providing explanation and humor. They systematically build to more complex words and plots, "'Gumpdrops? Pop? The list had buns and milk,' said Mom in shock. 'I lost the list, but I got lots of stuff,' said Finn." All About Reading All About Reading (AAR) is the multisensory, mastery-based program you've heard so much about. Suitable for all ages and with activities that benefit all learning styles, AAR teaches phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Moving at a gentler pace than other more intense reading programs, with AAR, only one new concept is taught at a time. Their precept-upon-precept program works with all kids, and AAR's built-in review system helps the learning stick. The progressive introduction of letters introduces vowels with consonants in a way that will allow your child to begin reading almost immediately. We particularly like how AAR integrates phonics instruction and phonics readers into a single comprehensive program, so they correlate directly with each other. And you will be thrilled to know that no prior training is needed. AAR has lightly scripted and illustrated "open and go" lessons that make your job easy and stress-free. Lessons are taught in short, manageable chunks. The author recommends students spend no more than 20 minutes a day learning to read, plus another 20 listening to a read-aloud. Based on the Orton-Gillingham Approach, 97% of English words can be learned according to phonetic rules, leaving only 3% as sight words. The student activity books add variety to the lessons and provide additional support. The phonetic readers are the best we have ever seen – beautifully illustrated hardcover books with finely detailed full-color drawings. The complete AAR program consists of five levels, from PreK through third grade. Our Level 1 Deluxe (with Tiles) Set: The All About Reading Level 1 Deluxe Kit is our recommended set. It is the All About Reading system containing all the components required for teaching Level 1 with letter tiles and magnets added, as well as a sturdy reading tote bag. These physical letter tiles and magnets can take the place of the Letter Tiles app that we recommend for users of our app-dependent kit. For families who prefer a less technological, more tactile approach, the AAR Level 1 with Tiles Set may be the perfect choice. Find more information and comparisons below. The All About Reading Level 1 Deluxe includes the Level 1 Teacher's Manual, Student Packet with Activity Book, three readers, the Reader Divider Cards, and the Reading Review Box, plus Letter Tiles, Magnets, Tote Bag, and the supplementary Phonograms Sounds App. You may also want to add a magnetic whiteboard, which is recommended but not required. Our Level 1 App-Dependent Set: The All About Reading Level 1 App-Dependent Set contains all the essential books and review box required for teaching Level 1, but no Letter Tiles. Instead, your family will purchase the Letter Tiles app, available for tablets on various app stores. The Letter Tiles app is an innovative, phenomenally effective, and incredibly convenient way to implement hands-on learning and practice with All About Reading. Find more information and comparisons below. The Level 1 App-Dependent Set includes the Level 1 Teacher's Manual, Student Packet with Activity Book, three readers, the Reader Divider Cards, and the Reading Review Box. You’ll also need to add the Letter Tiles app, available on iTunes, Google Play, and the Kindle app store. App-Based vs. Magnetic Tiles For our Timberdoodle curriculum kits, we’ve opted for the Deluxe Set that includes the Letter Tiles. This provides the hands-on aspect of real tiles, and equips you to teach with no requirement of access to a tablet or additional purchase of an app. However, since the Letter Tiles app allows for incredible ease of use and storage, if convenience is your top priority, the App-Dependent Kit may be the choice for you. Here is a brief comparison of the two options: With the physical letter tiles (Deluxe): No tablet is required to complete the lessons No additional purchase of an app is required Larger tiles are easy to read It's easy to incorporate hands-on alphabetizing practice Tricky word parts can be highlighted with markers Timeless, traditional, and tactile educational tool No screen time! With the Letter Tiles app (required for the App-Dependent Kit): It is immediately prepared for any lesson, and automatically organizes itself No more worries about lost letter tiles No need for a whiteboard It's easy to capitalize words You can hear the sounds of the phonograms seamlessly as you teach Lessons are easy to teach "on the go" Need to switch between students? No problem! Simply select your current lesson in All About Reading and you're ready to begin. Features Newer Version - Color Edition! All About Reading Level 1 Deluxe includes: Level 1 Fully-Updated Teacher's Manual with new material, including expanded “Before You Begin” and appendices sections - Download a sample PDF here Student Packet with full-color Activity Book - Download a sample PDF here Three full-color, heirloom-quality readers: Cobweb the Cat - Download a sample PDF here The Runt Pig - Download sample PDF here Run, Bug, Run! - Download a sample PDF here Reading Review Box with Divider Cards Letter Tiles and Magnets Tote Bag Supplementary Phonograms Sounds App Level 1 App-Dependent Set includes: Level 1 Fully-Updated Teacher's Manual Student Packet with full-color Activity Book Three full-color, heirloom-quality readers Reading Review Box with Divider Cards You’ll also need to add the affordable, phenomenally effective and convenient Letter Tiles app, available separately on iTunes, Google Play, and the Kindle app store.

What will my student learn in Level 1?Your student will learn exciting new concepts, including letter sounds, phonograms, consonant teams, blending, syllables, sight words, consonant blends, plurals, compound words, and much more. Every component of reading is taught: decoding (phonics and structural analysis), vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Below is a sampling in each area. Phonological Awareness Learn techniques for syllable counting, isolate sounds in three- and four-letter words, and practice phonemic substitution. Decoding (Phonics) Learn phonograms A-Z, plus TH, SH, CH, CK, NG, NK; to read short vowel words, such as pup and quack; read words ending in FF, LL, and SS such as hill; and read words with initial and final blends such as flag and lost. Decoding (Structural Analysis) Read plural words with suffix s or es, such as pigs and lunches, and compound words such as windmill. Vocabulary Discuss new words in the context of the story and one’s own life, and connect new words to familiar words. Fluency Read with accuracy, meaningful expression, and natural phrasing. Comprehension Connect text to one's own experiences, understand dialogue, give and discuss opinions, and set a purpose for reading. All About Reading Level 1 Scope and Sequence. Publisher: All About Learning Press Faith-Based?: No review by Joyful Wife Life ”All About Reading is one of those classic materials that tend to be a favorite amongst many homeschoolers. It's no wonder why, this curriculum makes teaching a child easy and makes learning to read fun for the child.” Read the Review review by Mama Smiles ”Parents and children reading books together is such an important piece of developing literacy! I was thrilled to see that this program has children read as part of each lesson.” Read the Review review by Fil-Am Teacher Mommy ”Our family has yet to find another program that packs so much quality content and materials to be a comprehensive reading program.” Read the Review review by Hopkins Homeschool ”Overall, we are impressed with this curriculum. While we are taking longer to use it, we are still getting the full benefit of it.” Read the Review review by Momz in the Know ”...It would also work great for non homeschooling parents as a resource to help children review and learn new reading skills over the summer or throughout the year to reinforce phonics, fluency, and comprehension concepts that are being taught in the classroom.” Read the Review review by Making Everyday Magic ”My girls both love the approach by AAR and I also find their Language Arts curriculum enjoyable to teach.” Watch the Review

Spelling You See - Level A

Beautifully Illustrated Read-aloud What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know is a beautifully illustrated read-aloud anthology. It offers your family what fellow parents, educators, and distinguished developmental psychologists consider the "core of knowledge" for kindergartners. The author's emphasis on reading aloud to your children and the wide variety of art, math, music, and science activities with your kindergartner make this a valuable resource for teaching parents. A Very Helpful Resource What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know is an excellent reference for everything from teaching handwriting to fun math projects you can do together. However, the best part for our review teams was the twenty nuggets of history in the middle of this book. Short stories about famous figures or simple synopses of USA history will help your child continue to develop the basics of a historical perspective and prepare him for jumping into a formal history program next year. Note: Some of the read-aloud stories in What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know include fairy tales and magic. Publisher Description Filled with age-appropriate questions and suggestions that stimulate thinking and build vocabulary, What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know also includes: Favorite poems—read and recite together from Mother Goose, A. A. Milne, Langston Hughes, and more, all beautifully illustrated Beloved stories and fables—read aloud from “The Three Little Pigs,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “Cinderella,” Winnie-the-Pooh, “The Velveteen Rabbit,” and many more, including multicultural folktales from African, Japanese, and Native American traditions Familiar sayings and phrases—impart traditional wisdom such as “Where there’s a will, there’s a way” and “Better safe than sorry” History and geography—a friendly introduction to our world, complete with simple questions and fun activities Visual arts—painting, drawing, cutting, and pasting go hand in hand with learning about color and helping a child look at and talk about great works of art Music—many musical experiences for parents and children to participate in, along with dozens of songs to sing and dance to Math—lively and interesting exposure to concepts and operations that provide a springboard to later mastery Science—activities that let children observe, experience, and get their hands dirty while exploring the wonders of nature Features View Table of Contents Here Enrich your Kindergartner's learning experience with: Interactive read-alouds Questions to ask Connections to make Games to play Publisher's Information Editors: E.D.

What Your Kindergartner Needs to Know

Math-U-See Primer is a good fit for most kindergarten students; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you try the placement test here. Math-U-See Primer Math-U-See Primer is a gentle introduction to math. This year the emphasis will be less on mastery of concepts and skills and more on becoming familiar with them. Your student will learn how to write numerals and do basic counting. He will be introduced to addition and subtraction, skip counting, geometric shapes, and telling time. Every Math-U-See Primer set also includes a Digital Pack. Accessible through any internet browser, you will have streaming video versions of Math-U-See's Instructional DVD, a PDF of the Instruction Manual, access to an online version of their Digital Manipulatives, and convenient links to a number of their free online resources. The Primer Digital Pack also includes Skip Count Songs mp3s. Lifetime access to all of these resources is included free with the purchase of the Math-U-See Primer Curriculum set. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals for most MUS levels include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. However, the Primer Instruction Manual includes answers for some, but not all, of the problems in each lesson. The answer keys are more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught In The Primer Level? Major Concepts and Skills Include: Counting objects and developing numeracy Understanding place value Recognizing number names and symbols Reading and writing numerals Understanding addition and subtraction with concrete and representational models Understanding and writing the symbols +, – and = Addition and subtraction of select numbers Additional concepts and skills: Telling and writing time by hours and minutes Recognizing & drawing rectangles, squares, and circles Measuring length by repeating units Introducing halves and fourths Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, and 100s Reading, writing, & interpreting word problems --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In What Order Do I Use the Math-U-See Levels? There are seven books for elementary grades which can be used in the following order: Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. These first seven books are followed by Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus with Trigonometry, and Calculus. Placement tests for the different levels are available here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do I Choose Which Curriculum Set I Need? Primer Universal Set The Math-U-See Primer Universal Set includes everything a new customer needs to be successful with Math-U-See Primer. The Instruction Pack, Student Pack, Integer Block Kit, and the Primer Digital Pack are conveniently bundled so customers can be certain they have all of the items they need. Primer Level Up Set The Primer Level Up Set is geared toward families who already own the Integer Block Kit, or who are purchasing the Integer Block Kit as part of another Math-U-See level. If you are looking for a complete set, minus the massive manipulative set, this is what you want. In addition to the Instruction Pack and Student Pack, the Primer Level Up Set also includes the Primer Digital Pack with access to streaming instruction videos, instructional PDFs, and all the other online resources for the Primer level in one convenient location. Primer Student Workbook This is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the Primer level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used Primer for one student and already own both the Integer Block Kit and the Instruction Pack. The Primer Digital pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively. If you do not already own the Instruction Pack, you should purchase the Universal Set or Level Up set, not the Student Workbook. From the Manufacturer: Math-U-See focuses on Building Understanding.

<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See Primer </span></strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See Primer is a gentle introduction to math. This year the emphasis will be less on mastery of concepts and skills and more on becoming familiar with them. Your student will learn how to write numerals and do basic counting. He will be introduced to addition and subtraction, skip counting, geometric shapes, and telling time. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Every Math-U-See Primer set also includes a Digital Pack. Accessible through any internet browser, you will have streaming video versions of Math-U-See's Instructional DVD, a PDF of the </span><em data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Instruction Manual</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">, access to an online version of their Digital Manipulatives, and convenient links to a number of their free online resources. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">The Primer Digital Pack also includes Skip Count Songs mp3s. Lifetime access to all of these resources is included free with the purchase of the Math-U-See Primer Curriculum set.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">About Math-U-See Curriculum</span></strong></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Instruction manuals for most MUS levels include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. However, the Primer Instruction Manual includes answers for some, but not all, of the problems in each lesson. The answer keys are more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. </span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See.</span></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-mce-fragment="1"></p>
<p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1">Note:</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true" data-mce-fragment="1"> Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition.</span></p>

I Can Doodle Rhymes Wow, so many critical skills have been packed into I Can Doodle Rhymes! Handwriting, spelling, and even doodling – the perfect balance between structure and imagination – are built on and expanded in this happy, colorful volume. Each I Can Doodle Rhymes! spread offers two pages of related activities. For example, a left page coaches your child to write the words pup and cup, and the right page asks him to doodle a pup on a cup and then a cup on a pup. In this way, reading, handwriting, and spelling skills are reinforced throughout. This ingenious combo of comical drawing lessons and rhyme ensures fun, stress-free learning by using simple, cartoon-style drawings to serve as models for budding artists. Publisher Description Illustrator Travis Foster’s simple, cartoon-style drawings serve as great models for budding artists. Kids will gain a real sense of accomplishment, whether they imitate drawings, or make their own doodles. While comical, accessible illustrations ensure fun, stress-free doodling, the pictures also help pre-readers pick up the rhymes.

Around the World Mazes What child doesn’t love the challenge of mazes? With Around the World Mazes, your child will travel easily through the busy streets of Venice, journey across the world with increasingly complex mazes. Finally, he will reach the most challenging maze, a circuit through a small African city. These colorful mazes allow your child the opportunity to practice basic pencil control in an enjoyable, exciting way. And because mazes are naturally absorbing, they help your child acquire the ability to reason, interpret, understand, and concentrate, some of the bedrock essentials for later academics. Note: Because each culture sets its own standards in terms of modesty, conservative families may want to add a touch of white-out to a figure or two. From the Publisher:Travel from the Amazon and the Antarctic to the Himalayas and Hollywood with this entertaining selection of mazes from across the globe. Each maze is more challenging than the last, from taking a ramble in Rio de Janeiro to touring the Norwegian fjiords or finding your way in a Moroccan market. All the answers are at the back of the book. Features Want to explore more of this book?
