CLE materials are a favorite of many because of their academic strength and visual simplicity as well as the straight-forward and realistic illustrations. Kindergarten is a new idea for them and frankly, they've done a good job with it. With the stated objective of preparing students to be successful in their 1st grade Learning to Read and Math programs, the goal in the LittleLight books is to introduce concepts rather than to expect mastery. Kindergarten II materials consist of five workbooks and five activity books. This combination of workbooks and activity books introduces the concepts of matching, dot-to-dot, color names, letter sounds, letter writing, recognizing and writing numbers 1-100, patterns, sequencing, and more. Instructions are printed at the bottom of each page. Answers, when necessary, are provided. Pages are basically black and white, but there are accent colors. Many of the illustrations reflect the distinctive dress styles of the Mennonite publishers. Workbooks cover letter and number skills; Activity Books cover colors and miscellaneous concepts as well as reinforcement and review. ~ Janice
[A Teacher's Guide is under construction and will include extra activities and mastery methods. The TG will also include the letter rhymes that introduce each letter in the workbooks. These rhymes can be found in the Grade 1 Learning to Read Teacher's Guide or on the back of the Letter Flash Cards. A Kindergarten I program is also new for 2018.]
