Acknowledge your child's progress, and respond to his or her comfort level. Assist your child in sounding out and reading unfamiliar words. Keep a positive attitude, and provide words of encouragement to support your child's journey in becoming a lifelong learner. Complete some activities together to assure your child of your presence as a trusted learning partner. Use a dictionary to look up the meaning of unfamiliar words. Give hints rather than solutions to particularly tricky problems.
These practice workbooks are full of enjoyable activities, and are a good way to reinforce or teach in a manner that is different from what a child is learning from their main curriculum. Each book has fun graphics, and also includes an incentive chart inside the cover. As a child finishes a page, they get to color a section in the chart to track their progress. Skills lists and parent helps are in the front, and give ideas on getting the most out of the exercises. Illustrations of cheerful characters are sprinkled throughout the books including smiley boys and girls, animals, and inanimate objects. Answers are in the back. You could tear these out or have the kids check their own work. Engaging and encouraging, students will want to do all the activities! These workbooks are transitioning to the I Can Do It! series (previously Stick Kids Workbooks), which are now black and white and do not include any stickers. Currently our stock in this category has titles from both series. 7"x 9", 56 pgs, pb. ~ Sara/Judy
