Support the expanding communication skills of children ages 6 and 7 in DK Workbooks: Language Arts: Grade 1. Topics include long and short vowels, consonants, pronouns, past, present, and future tense, and other areas of language arts taught in a first-grade classroom.
Developed in consultation with leading educational experts to support curriculum learning, DK Workbooks: Language Arts is an innovative series of home-learning language arts workbooks that is closely linked to school curriculum, and helps make learning easy and fun! Each title is packed with exercises and activities to strengthen what children learn in school. With clear questions and supportive illustrations to help children to understand each topic, the books reinforce key concepts such as phonics, spelling, grammar, and punctuation. A parents' section contains answers, tips, and guidance to provide support, and a certificate of achievement will reinforce confidence in kids by rewarding their accomplishments. Supports the Common Core State Standards.
IF you need good coverage of foundational language arts skills; IF you also want that review to be aligned to Common Core; IF you want it to be inexpensive yet eye-pleasing (white pages with accent color); and IF you recognize the motivating value of gold stickers; THEN these workbooks from DK are the answer. Some activities are typical workbook activities, but others are "outside the box." Upon completion of each page, the provided gold stars are attached to line items in the table of contents, which serves as an assignment chart. Grade-level appropriate coverage includes phonics, punctuation, capitalization, parts of speech, types of sentences and beginning composition. Answers and a certificate of completion are provided. 60 pgs, pb ~ Janice
