Home Workbooks: Phonics for Kindergarten

I bought this book for my 4 years old son, who is very interested in alphabet activities. In the daycare, they do a lot of similar exercises and at home he wants to practice some more. For that purpose, this is a really good book. It starts from A and goes through all letters of alphabet. For each letter there are 2 pages of activities: one requires the child to find all the objects that start with that letter among a group of objects and the other one finding the only object in a group of three that begins with that letter. After every 10 pages or so there is a general activity page where small pictures are accompanied with three letters and the kid is required to find the correct letter that the object in the picture starts with. These pages cover all the letters up to that point. The last pages, after all the letters are covered, are another group of activities which require finding the middle missing letter or recognizing the whole word among similar ones. This require more skill than the first set of activities and therefore a kindergarten student would do it better. The pictures are repeated a few times for different activities and this ensures the child to build some new vocabulary. For example my son did not know the word 'can' as in canned food and after I told him and he came across a few more times he was easily noticing it. The pictures are mostly clear and easy to recognize. There are some ambiguities but those are really limited. Finally the book offers 140 stickers and a completion chart. The idea is that for each activity a sticker needs to be put on the corresponding page number on that chart. Good luck if you manage to get them used that way. My son had already sticked half the stickers randomly by the time I first handled the book, kids just don't stop when they handle stickers :) In conclusion, this is a really useful basic practice book. Perhaps it might have offered a wider range of activities but there is no harm being plain and simple as well. I liked the book and my son spends a good amount of time with it. For less than $4 it is a real bargain

After Roger Priddy workbooks We became fan of Carson-Dellosa books. It's amazing. To teach a child how to read or spell, first you have to make sure he/she knows how each letter sounds, then only he can spell or read a word..gradually sentences perfectly. We searched for a phonics book and this book we found quite interesting and we were 100% right choosing this book for our 3.5 yr old kiddo. The best features- It's a 60 educational practice page book.In each page there are some pictures given where you have to name the picture and then circle the picture that begins with a specific letter sound.Sometimes you have to join the same first letter pictures with lines. Working on the pages is fun and really enjoyable.Besides fun , this workbook is educational in true sense, as my kid now confidently tells the each letter of a word just hearing the sound of each letter of a word.There are scopes for tracing letters also which is quite good, it also encourages writing letters in this way. This book also emphasizes on words with short vowels a,e,i,o,u..The child can learn vowels as well as its sound. The most rewarding part is gold star pages.. where from your child can get a gold star sticker and stick it on the page as soon as he/she completes it perfectly. My kid enjoys learning with this book and she loves her lesson with it. I will say, this book is the first and most valuable step toward learning how to spell or read.

Excellent for five and six year olds!

This book is great, but the photos need to be updated. Kindergarteners do not know what a lot of these items are. The images seem to be from decades ago. Kids can't relate because they've never seen them (needle and thread, a newspaper, a children's top, etc.) before.

Great for kids just beginning to read. It was much better than most other workbooks ( it actually has some great phonics pages), as well as CVC etc. It is smaller than the standard paper ( 8.5”x11”), but I found this helpful for my child since it is easier to handle for small hands.

Great book. It is a good mix of phonics and writing practice for my 4 year old. On completing each activity, children are able to add a star sticker to track their task completion which is a great motivation for kids. Highly recommend.

I bought this for my grandson and we have used it quite a bit to go along with his kindergarten homework. We don't use it all the time or anything quite that drastic, but at times it helps for reinforcement of sounds or letters with which he experiences some difficulty. This book is very helpful that way. My grandson likes this book MUCH more than the material from school. He learns faster from this book and never seems to want to stop. This is in distinct contrast to the school-provided material. We have used a few different phonics books and this, so far, is the best of them. I recognize too, though, not everyone learns the same way from the same material. That said, this book is also inexpensive so I would say it is a good option to try if you're first starting to check these out or, if you've had struggles with other books and feeling frustrated in finding a good book to assist or teach your own children/grandchildren, etc.

60 practice activity sheets with Answers key given, as you complete each page, paste the sticker on their respective numbers. How so much fun for a toddler! The books primarily focus on how each letter sound, like hard C sound or hard G sound, with interesting images for the kids. My daughter is 4 and Loves working on these pages, matching the similar sound pictures, knowing which letter makes what sound, she has familiarized with multiple sounds and know the difference between each one of the letters. A couple pages at the end, cover a bit of writing practice. Apart from that, everything is based on the letters and their sound, not mucc of writing involved. I definitely recommend such books for kids of her age.

I picked up this workbook to help my child practice early reading skills, and it's been a great addition to our learning routine. The activities are simple, engaging, and easy to work through together. I’ve noticed my child becoming more confident with sight words and letter sounds, and they actually look forward to doing a few pages each day.

幼児から低学年向けの優しいワークブックです。 フォニックス、単語の定着の1冊目におすすめです！！！ オールカラー、わかりやすいイラスト、ページごとのできたよシール などいい感じです。 書く練習が少しだけあるところも、ナイスです！ 年少、英語は家庭学習のみですが、親が横にいて問題文を訳せば、直感的にわりとできます。 1人では厳しいです。たまに親でもわからない単語があります。 1ページにさほど時間かからず出来ることや、同じ単語（イラスト）が繰り返し出てくるところも、幼い子にはいいと思います。語彙を増やす目的にはあまり向いてないと思いますが、フォニックスの定着には本当にいいです。 お値打ちなので、続きも購入したいです！ 松香フォニックスの10,9,8級にあたります。 ---------------------------- 一通り終えました。 週1,2回やって、3ヶ月目標でしたが、2ヶ月で終わりました。 続いて、蟹が表紙のワークに進みます。

My 4 year old is halfway through this book. It's great practice and fun . Totally recommend
