After purchasing the Carson-Dellosa Phonics for Kindergarten, which was just what I was looking for, I was excited to get my son into this First Grade version. However, it was something of a disappointment. Not nearly as visually appealing, and required reading that most First Graders starting out aren't able to do. It felt like they skipped around too much instead of solidly approaching word sounds and vowels in a logical way. Since I was homeschooling at the time, I ended up getting most of my son's phonics assignments from worksheets I found on the internet instead of using everything in the book. The book needs to be better thought out.
I had used the book for kindergarten and saw a significant improvement in pronunciation and word recognition, hence my purchase. I will keep coming back to these books because of the overall improvement in my son's reading. No matter where we are he will attempt to sound words out and he loves the reward of the gold stars. It is one of my many go to books in fostering a life long love of reading.
I'm working with an upcoming first grader who is having trouble recognizing letters. This brightly colored book provides a variety of practices for beginning readers. There are little stories; opportunities to color, draw, and write; and always cute graphics. I use this book in conjunction with flash cards, read along stories, and a much more complete, if not as cute, phonics book.My student loves this book so much, I have to ration the pages each session.BTW, she uses a clear overlay and wet erase markers for most of the pages. I copy the coloring pages for her so she can take them home. A color printer is a boon with this book, if you plan to use it for multiple students.
My daughter is homeschooled, and I got this for her just as some extra practice. She loves it...usually she hates phonics, but she actually says this book is fun and will willingly work in it.
My daughter likes this book. Its one of two other books i use to have study time with he or when she didn't have any homework. She will start 1st grade this fall. I would say it helped her somewhat with sounding out words better.
Good workbook with lots of recognition + writing practice. Good progression of skills. It seems level appropriate. I bought this for my kiddo who just finished kindergarten and she has been doing a few pages a day for the past month.
On the easy side for my 1st grader but definitely a lot of fun.I would suggest using this book for kindergartners at the end of the school year or over the summer as a preparation for 1st grade.Activities are fun, engaging and they get a gold star sticker for every completed page.Helps to reinforce phonics, understanding of combination sounds.Highly recommended for kids who need some help in school and are not very into it as this book will draw them into writing!
My daughter liked this workbook. That's good enough for me. Hoped it helps her in the long term. Half the battle is finding something she likes.
