What a great Pre-school readiness book
I love this book. I think that this book is a well organized book with easy color coding system that is understandable and compact. I gave this book to one of friend's son and he just would not put his pencil down. Also, his mom loved the fact that there was a CD for the computer. It was educational and fun for her son since he loves to play on the computer. Now, instead of playing games that are not educational. He can now enjoy a lesson on the computer with just as much excitement and educational.
I use it as a guide for homework for my students. It is a wonderful book to enhance skills that are already taught or even to practice at home with their parents. It is colorful and I love how it is color coded into parts that I can easily get to without having to flip through each page trying to look for homework.
Great activity!
We got this activity book at the Wal-Mart store yesterday. My 3.5 year old son absolutely loves it. It's the second one we got in the last week. He already finished the first one. This book set included the software cd full of activities to be played on the computer. My son is already somewhat computer literate, so it was perfect for him. The instructions are very easy to understand, the games are very interesting. He loves it. He had never done dot-to-dot before, but on the computer he understood right away, due to easy to use functions. We are very happy with the purchase. The software also includes painting, counting, games 'Same or different', etc. My son loves all the games provided. Over all, it's a great purchase for a very good price! Would recommend to my friends!
