A brand-new title in this important series gives parents easy-to-apply methods for helping to educate their children who are starting in kindergarten. It's a combination manual and advice book,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
What I liked about this book is that the lessons are very easy to follow. For each lesson the book tells you how to explain the concept to the child, what books are good to read, provides lots of practice for the kid and the lessons are simple. It covers lessons in literacy, math, social studies and science. I think this is a very complete book. This book is great to be used as a reference so parents know what their kids should be learning in school and is also great for homeschoolers.
A very great start

I am a homeschooling mom on her third year in teaching the kids at home. My kindergarten aged child has never been to a traditional school so it was a bit necessary to understand just what it was that these youngsters needed to know. This book has a great start to that. It certainly doesn't cover it all. There are always other subjects. But it hits the most general and very important ones. It has many good ideas that can be built upon and a whole entire curriculum made from it. The pages tear out and for the most part that is positive when it comes to using the given worksheets. I like the fact that it has extra activities with it at each section end. It has a wide variety to it--an interdisciplinary feel. It is very complete in the instructions and lessons. It is definitely recommended to those who homeschool or need extra practice for their children.
Excellent!

This book is excellent for the beginning home schooler, or just to suppliment the "regular" school student. It has lessons already written, on tear-out pages, and great ideas for continued study at the end of each lesson. It also has great assessments/checklists at the back.
