Kumon Workbooks: My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS

My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS

US$7.95
C$8.95
Unlike conventional alphabet books, My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS does not start with the ABCs. The most prominent characteristic of this book is that it starts with easy-to-write letters and then proceeds to more difficult letters step by step, regardless of alphabetical order. Different strokes such as straight lines, diagonal lines and curves are introduced in an incremental manner so that children do not grow tired of studying letters. The North American popularity of this book proves the Kumon Method's "practice makes perfect" effectiveness.
Ages 3-5.

My First Book of LOWERCASE LETTERS

US$7.95

This sequel to My First Book of UPPERCASE LETTERS encourages children to begin with lowercase letters that have simple strokes such as l, t, and i and gradually moves on to letters containing diagonal lines and curves. Through a series of connect-the-dots and tracing exercises, children become familiar with the shapes of letters naturally. Although this unique approach to the alphabet may seem roundabout, learning to write letters effortlessly will speed a child’s recognition of the alphabet later.

My Book of SIMPLE SENTENCES

US$7.95

Writing simple sentences can be difficult for young children, as the skill requires understanding the most basic grammar concept: noun-verb agreement.

By slowly moving from singular nouns and verbs to plural nouns and verbs, children are finally able to create a simple sentence and build a foundation for creating more complex sentence patterns.
