Phonics: Kumon Workbooks Series (6 Books)

Title: Kumon Workbooks Series
Level: ages 3 to 7
Editor(s): Shinobu Akaishi and Eno Sarris
Publisher: Kumon Publishing North America
Date: 2004
Size: 51.4 Mb
Format: PDF in rar
Quality: Good, full-color
Language: English

Kumon workbooks are based on the "Kumon Method", an educational philosophy that aims at unlocking the full learning potential of each individual child. The Kumon Method introduces learning concepts in an incremental, step-by-step approach, allowing children to master new skills easily and without anxiety or frustration. As a result, children gain confidence in their abilities and are motivated to learn on their own. [+/-]


Over 3.5 million children around the world use the Kumon Method to develop their math and reading skills. Kumon Math and Reading Centers help students become successful, confident and self-motivated learners.

But it’s not just the Kumon Method that makes the workbooks special. It’s also the care and research that goes into the editorial content, design and quality of the books. Our editorial experts have more than two decades of experience in producing books that are both fun and educational. Our designers create illustrations that attract and delight children. And the quality of our books is the best of any workbook on the market, with extra thick paper and the best available print quality. From pedagogy to paper, every one of our workbooks has been carefully crafted with your child’s best interests in mind.

Book list:
1. My Book Of Number Games 1-70 - 81 pages
This book contains two types of educational games. First are color-by-number exercises, which help children recognize numbers up to 70. Next are connect-the-dots exercises, which teach children ordinal numbers and the sequence of numbers between 1 and 70. Both types of exercises will create the basis skills needed for addition, subtraction and other advanced level math.

2. My Book Of Number Games 1-150 - 84 pages
This book builds on the skills developed by My Book of Number Games 1-70. In addition to reinforcing number recognition and number sequencing skills, My Book of Number Games 1 - 150 will help children understand the concept of a "digit," which will prepare them for higher-level multi-digit calculations. Mastering the concepts introduced in Kumon's two Number Games books will help children succeed when they progress to arithmetic and more advanced math.

3. My Book Of Rhyming Words And Phrases - 81 pages
Using games and exercises similar to those in My Book of Rhyming Words, this book helps children learn more advanced rhyming words and phrases. While learning to write and read situational phrases connected by conjunctions, such as "fox in box" and "cat in hat," children will begin to develop more advanced verbal skills.

4. My Book Of Rhyming Words - 82 pages
This book is for children who can read and write the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Words that are familiar to children, such as hat, bat, rat and cat are grouped by the vowel and consonant combination of the last two letters. Through games and exercises that encourage children to trace letters and read aloud, children will learn how to read and write simple words.

5. My Book of Rhyming Words: Long Vowels - 83pages
Long vowels are the most difficult part of learning to read and write. Using a combination of Kumons systematic, step-by-step approach and established phonics theory, this book helps children understand how different vowel combinations make the same long vowel sounds. Ages 5-7

6. My Book of Writing Words: Learning about Consonants and Vowels - 81 pages
This workbook will show your child how to begin putting words together to make phrases, a crucial skill for sentence construction.

Preschool: Alphabet and Nursery Rhymes Printable Worksheets

Title: Alphabet and Nursery Rhymes Worksheets: Help Your Preschoolers Develop Their Language Skills

How to Develop the Language Skills of Your Preschool Children
1. Between ages 2 and 5, children acquire a tremendous amount of information on language. At age 5, the differences between children with different degrees of language skills can be striking. One child may have a vocabulary of 4,000-5,000 words; another child only has one to two thousand. [+/-]


As children make the transition from preschool to kindergarten, one of the best predictors of school success is how many words they know and use.

That is why I made several worksheets to improve the vocabulary of your children.

2. Make reading aloud a part of your everyday routine. Even if you just read for five minutes or less each morning and the same amount each evening, you'll be exposing your child to a great wealth of new words. Don't be surprised if you start hearing some of these words slip into your child's everyday speech. I love to read nursery rhymes for my daughter. I have my favorites here for you to print and read to your prescholer.

3. Encourage creativity. Preschool children get excited about making things. I have several dot to dot, colouring and other worksheets that your prescholer is going to love.

Alphabet Worksheets
One of the first steps in becoming a successful reader is to learn to recognize the letters of the alphabet. The alphabetic principle teaches that spoken language is represented by written words that are made up of varying combinations of letters, and that these letters and combinations of them make up all of the sounds in spoken language. Attaching sounds to these letters and learning to write them paves the way to successful reading and writing.
On this place we have free handwriting practice worksheets for children learning to write the alphabet

These worksheets are to be printed and traced. Tracing the shape is a great precursor to learning how to print letters. The alphabet printables are a great way for preschoolers and kindergarten kids to practice printing skills.

Nursery Rhymes
Why Teach Your Children Nursery Rhymes?


There are many benefits that can be gained by reading nurery rhymes to your children.Here are five great reasons!

1. Nursery rhymes helps the development of literacy.
2. Poetry is an excellent way to teach and reinforce grammar and vocabulary skills.
3. Poetry provides a focus for reading and writing, and helps children learn how to be concise.
4. Poetry supports components defined in brain research such as the importance of searching for patterns, and is an acceptable way for children to express emotions and feelings.
5. Poetry, and specially nursery rhymes, provide opportunities for children to listen for rhyming patterns, an important phonological awareness skill.

Phonics is a word-attack skill in which you "sound-out" difficult words by using the common sounds of letters in the word. It is often the first reading skill taught to people and is considered one of the "basic skills". Knowledge of phonics is most helpful in linking the words one knows through simply hearing them with the actual written word. You may wish to review and print this list of phonics rules before you start this quiz.
