Editorial Review:Product Description:Through a combination of tracing and recitation exercises, this book encourages children to practice writing the numbers from 1 to 9 repeatedly until it becomes second nature. While improving basic pencil-control abilities and learning the numerical order of numbers from 1 to 30, children are naturally exposed to the world of numbers.

I tried doing this workbook with my two year old, since she's been doing other Kumon workbooks. However, for this one the child really needs to be able to recognize and identify their numbers already. I look forward to using this book in the future, when those skills are mastered.

My son loves doing the activities in his Kumon books. And I like that it helps develop skills he will need when he starts Preschool. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love the Kumon workborks. My 5 year old just finished this workbook with ease. Each workbook teaches one concept at a time so that your child can build upon their skills at their own pace. I've used other workbooks and find that they sometimes skip around or introduce concepts that are too hard to follow because my child hasn't learned that concept yet. This can be frustrating especially if you want the learning to flow. Everything in the Kumon line is clearly explained and easy to follow. I highly recommend all their workbooks for school aged children.

We purchased several of the beginning Kumon workbooks -- Numbers, Easy Mazes, Tracing, and Cutting. Our three year old daughter looks forward to using her books. The cutting may seem simple to an adult, but it truly requires a young child to concentrate. I have never seen her quite so focuse! For the other books, I tear out and trim the pages, then place them under a clear desk mat. We can write on the mat with dry erase markers. In this way, my little one can "practice" the page again and again (not just once) -- she seems to enjoy the mastery of this process. It probably would be possible to laminate the pages, but we find that the transparent plastic mat works nicely.

This book is very good.
There are plenty of Kumon books for numbers ( 1-30, 1-70,1-120, 1-150 etc). While it is a legitimate wishful thinking of every parent that their kids be good at numbers of over 100, my suggestion is that the kids have to first get past this book on numbers before stepping into others.
My kid is in prek at a Montessory school, So my purpose of buying the book was to reinforce what is taught at school.
The book is very good in a way it takes the kid through the complexity of numbers in a clean fashion.First a generic drawing connecting the numbers etc.. However the biggest drawback I found in the book is the number of pages.There is virtually no repetition possible if the kid is not getting past a set of numbers.
I will use number 2 as an example from a kid's perspective
Exercise goes like this :
Chapter 11 :
1,2,3 (the kid writes 4 times)
2,3,4 (the kid writes 4 times)
Chapter 12:
3,4,5 (the kid writes 4 times and so on )
Problem is the kid gets to write, for example a difficult number like 2 total of 8 times. Again the kid gets a glimpse of number 2 in chapter 15 ( assume this happens after few days where kid has forgotten how to write it)
Chapter 15:
1-4 ( write 3 times)
And then the chapters pretty much assumes that the kid knows the numbers and gets into exercises like matching the numbers with number of fruits etc.
Similar to most kids, my kid had problems writing 7,9 and 10 ( In spite of my kid writing at school) .I had to make between 3-5 copies of every exercise and asked her to write it out,so she became familiar and ready for the subsequent exercises.
If the kids dont grasp 1-10 effectively, the whole subsequent exercises till 30 goes in vain.
And if you need a photocopier , then the purpose of buying a book is defeated, afterall there are so many websites from where you can download similar lessons!
Kumon Publishers,you are doing an awesome job ,but please do not do penny pinching...Charge few dollars more and make the book over 200 pages with several optional exercises.!
