Introduce your child to reading and writing with our Verbal Skills Workbooks. Through fun activities such as tracing and color-by-letter, our workbooks gradually introduce new concepts. The eye-catching illustrations and captivating content reinforce lessons and help children stay motivated, encouraging them to be lifelong readers and writers. This follow-up workbook to My Book of Simple Sentences aims to help children understand slightly more complicated sentences. By slowly introducing adjectives and showing children how to use them, this book aims to make children comfortable with such sentences as "The happy fish swims."
I just brought this book for my 7 yr old that is building his skills on writing sentences independently. We also own the My Book of Writing Words: Learning about Consonants and Vowels (Kumon Workbooks) and My Book of Simple Sentences: Learning about Nouns and Verbs (Kumon Workbooks). Although this book is recommended after the other two, I am actually going to use this book first, then the "Writing Words", and then the simple sentences. The nouns in this book are a mixture of long and short vowels, but one syllable words. It also contains a lot of the helper adjective words that are in the Dolch list (eg. big, little, short, long, etc). The "Writing Words" book contains a lot of blend sound words, but no helper words or sentences. The simple sentences book has only nouns and verbs in the sentences, but the nouns are more complex: eg. kangaroo. I give all three books 5 stars. I just disagree with the order that Kumon recommends.
