Kumon workbooks are always filled with many colorful activity pages children love to complete. This skills series is no exception. Preparing children for many activities they will do in kindergarten, this series introduces small children to a wide array of skill sets. The verbal skills prepare children for early reading, learning both upper and lowercase letters that show correct starting positions. There are also plenty of alphabet dot-to-dot practice, making the letters fun to learn. In the math skills workbook, children learn numbers 1-30, counting and ordering numbers, and patterns and shapes. Other workbooks focus on developing fine motor skills and improving fingering strength and dexterity. Geared toward students who are learning to write, the activity pages are nicely laid-out on high quality paper, making erasing easier. Inside each cover are instructions teaching students how to properly hold their pencils or scissors. A certificate of achievement is included at the end of each book to present to your child after completion. ~ Gina
