School Zone - Beginning Reading Workbook - 64 Pages, Ages 6 to 8, Grades 1 to 2, Beginning & Ending Sounds, Vowels, Sequencing, and More (School Zone I Know It!® Workbook Series)

I have a 5 year old learning to read and a 3 year old trying to learn. The best part is that the 5 year old is teaching his younger sister using this book. Because of this, my son is learning faster and its because they both love this book. I highly recommend it.

This 64 page workbook is great for beginner readers and progresses in difficulty as the child works through it. The first lesson covers short vowel sounds, and has the child writing in the missing vowel to words such as ten, doll, and nest. There's a long vowel review, beginning sounds, ending sounds, beginning AND ending sounds, etc. Here are some of the exercises in this book: *Color and Shape Words *Alphabetical Order *Opposites *Action Words *Inference *Synonyms *Decoding/Rhyming *Main Idea/Details *Interogative Words *Analogies and much more. Beginning Reading 1-2 is a colorful and sturdy paperback workbbook that invites creative thinking, deductive reasoning, and following directions. The pages can also be torn out along the peforated lines, if you choose. While most are writing exercises in this book, there are also coloring exercises. For example, one exercise features a grid of letters and directions such as "Color the Z boxes red" and "Color the K boxes green". After the child colors all the appropriate boxes, the secret message is "How many months are in a year?" So the child not only gets an exercise in reading and following directions, he/she gets to color and find out how many months are in a year! (There are 12 colorful calendars featured on the page). Affordable and educational--highly recommended!
