Why did you choose this?
What version is this?
This is the current edition. There is a new one coming out that seems to have some school-friendly features. We will have this edition for a while yet.
I’m looking at getting a prek deluxe kit. Do I need to get a kindergarten kit for my older son as well or just new workbooks/teacher guides?
https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/HWTPKD/Handwriting-Without-Tears-Pre-K-Readiness-%2526-Writing-Deluxe-Kit.html?
If you are getting this kit for PK, then you are correct - just get the print books for K.
How much overlap in the HWOT kindergarten kit is there with the pre-K kit? Would I need to start with the pre-K bundle, or is this an appropriate entry-point into the program?
I would say that depends on the skill level of the students. The pre-K kit starts with vocabulary of letter formation and basic structure and then builds from there. If your students know basic letter formation (start at the top, big line down, little curve, little curve) then you could skip the pre-K.
Grandsons are being home schooled.
Great beginnings start here!
Two of my older children have worked with this kit. I like the tactile nature and the way it works to reach multiple intelligences.
This was HIGHLY recommended by a colleague! She said that you can't teach kindergarten without it!
