Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best I've come across
This book is actually well put together. It serves it purpose in teaching kids the basic structure of the alphabet, but it could have more pages that allow them to practice the lines. My 4 year old likes to pick this up whenever she see's it laying out, so it most likely won't be something your child will run away from.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice idea, didn't work for us
I am a homeschooling mother of three boys and I like a lot of the Kumon books. My youngest is ready to learn letter recognition, basic phonics, and writing letters so I purchased this for him. (He just turned 4) With my older boys I taught them to write the letter in the order of the alphabet. When I opened this book and saw their approach of teaching the simplest letters first and then continuing with letters grouped by the types of lines they contain I thought it was worth a try. For HIM this method is not working, but now that we have continued with our standard ABC order he is doing well. I believe he was having a hard time remembering what was what because all the letters were too similar to one another in appearance and motion. Another con is that the book does not provide enough practice for each letter; you only write each letter 3 times. On the positive side, like all Kumon books, this book is very colorful and sturdy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kid Loves It
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.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Pretty good
I recently purchased the uppercase, lowercase, paper cutting and tracing mazes. My son is 3 1/2 and he is enjoying doing all of them. It's a fun and easy way to make them learn things. He is even learning to cut paper a straight line now. I make him work on the mazes and straight lines, then move on to the uppercase letters. It really helps him keep straight lines and also get the edges properly.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good workbooks
Kumon workbooks are a fun novelty. I found them at my local Target. One could easily make their own little exercises up, they are so simple.
