Kumon My Book of Reading Skills: Easy Phonics (Reading Skills), Ages 4-6, 96 pages (My Book of Reading Skills) (My Book of Reading Skills; Ages 4,5,6) Paperback – May 16, 2022

My 4.5 year old daughter has enjoyed working on this workbook and frequently asks to complete more than I’ve “assigned “ for the day. It is a very good early phonics activity book containing 45 lessons. The topics covered include an alphabet review, the initial sound of consonants, the names of the vowels, vowels versus consonants, and short vowel sounds within CVC words. The majority of the book provides practice with consonant sounds. There is a degree of variety in terms of activities within the book - such as dot-to-dot, color by letter, mazes, and circling - but most activities are repeated frequently enough that my daughter knew what to do with little instruction besides reviewing the sound upon which to focus. There were a few things that were worth noting, although they didn’t detract from the book. As I mentioned, there is little work on CVC words; the majority of the book provides consonant letter sound review. The most common sound of letters is introduced, except with X. The X page introduces primarily the /ks/ sound, but also X as in x-ray and xylophone. I actually kind of like this, considering how many alphabet toys use these words for X. Overall, this is a great book, although I probably should have introduced it a little earlier due to its focus on consonant sounds.

I recently bought a phonics workbook for my first grader, and it's been a hit! The book's colorful and child-friendly design immediately caught my child's attention. From the moment we received it, my child couldn't wait to dive in and has already completed five lessons independently.The workbook is printed on high-quality paper, which adds to its durability and makes it comfortable for reading. The bright illustrations and engaging exercises keep my child motivated and excited about learning phonics. The intuitive layout allows young learners to follow along easily without much help.Overall, this phonics workbook is an excellent tool for fostering a love for learning in young children. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun and effective way to support their child's early literacy skills.

Very nice for little kids

Instead of taking my son to kumon class, I took a friend's advise and got this book. he can now read even bigger words just by stringing the phonic sounds together. I am happy. As a parent, once you commit an hour per day to this, you will see noticeable outcome

I absolutely love these books for homeschool! I’ve ordered the whole series

Grandkids loved it

On the easier side of the workbook. Guess my favorite phonics book but not that it’s a bad choice. Just not as creative and appealing in a way.
