My First Book Of Tracing (Kumon's Practice Books)

My daughter does not have the ability (or the age) to write numbers, letter, etc....but this book is specifically useful for practicing those skills that would ultimately allow the children to write legible symbols.I have photocopied a few easy tracing worksheets and mazes for her and laminated them (as I am hoping the book will last until the other daughter would be able to use it as well)....so she can use them again and again; once she'll get bored, I'll photocopy different ones...but you could definitely use the book as it is, without photocopying or laminating the sheets.I could see she finds the images entertaining and can confirm that they contain all types of lines (straight, in diagonal) and loops that would (hopefully in the near future) help her write numbers and letters.

I have tried many worksheets and activity books to help my 3 year old’s pencil control. With other books, He usually does one or a handful of pages each time, and needs encouragement. This, however, retained his attention for so long that he finished it in two goes, within 24 hours, without us prompting him to do so. I guess it’s because the book starts simple and then gradually it gets harder and harder. But each step is small enough and is repeated enough times for the child.I wish the book were wipe clean so we could use it again and again.

I've reviewed a couple of these books. We like them all but for us this one made the biggest impact as a first writing/ drawing tool. My son (just gone 3) was reluctant to do a lot of drawing, but did 19 pages if this book in one sitting. It's very colourful and a bit less obviously educational than some of the others so he thinks of it more as "fun". Great book and a great series. Makes educating your little one (or supplementing) easy and accessible.

I bought this after reading reviews and was pleasantly surprised! It is a lot larger a book than expected and I can see it being suitable for young children of variable ages. I bought it for my 3 year old and as one review suggests I use pencil so the pages can be used again.I was surprised how well my little one could follow and enjoy tracing the lines. I looked at other Kumon books as a result of this one.

My 3 year old used to have a fist grip before using this book and never really enjoyed any workbook. This book has been amazing, she now holds the pencil almost correctly (two fingers and a thumb) with excellent pen control. Most importantly she has enjoyed the tasks and can see she is progressing. Best workbook to start things off with.

Helps my child practice holding the pencil, making lines, curves etc....is confidence building and fun at the same time! He wants to do a few pages everyday.

Great product, my 2 year old showed amazing improvement in pencil control after just using it for 2 days. We've had it a week and she always hold pencils, markers, pens, etc correctly now, due to this book! I would definitely recommend only using an erasable pencil. We erase it every time she wants to use it again. I'm considering pulling the pages out and putting them in plastic sleeves so she can use an erasable marker on it, to eliminate all the erasing I have to do!

This is just perfect for helping my 3 year old son learn to hold and control a pencil . He is not interested in drawing, but he loves working through this book. It is colourful and progresses through from straight lines to slanting lines, then zig zag etc.. He works in pencil and I rub it out so we can do it again.

Recomendo.

Se vostro figlio non ha mai fatto pregrafismo prima con questo libro inizierà fa a farlo. Ho staccato i fogli così il mio bimbo fa più pratica e lui adora farlo. Prima non ha mai voluto fare pregrafismo. Lo consiglio a tutti.

Great buy! Fun for kids and doesn't feel like work for them.

Bin durch ein kurzes zeigen bei Instagram auf das System „Kumon“ aufmerksam geworden. Da mein Kind absolut keine Lust auf Schwungübungen hatte, habe ich das mal ausprobiert.Super erstmal, dass auf der ersten Seite gleich erklärt wird, wie der Stift zu halten ist (Kind macht ein L mit Daumen und Zeigefinger und umschließt dann den Stift). Dadurch werden die richtigen Muskeln trainiert und das Kind lern die richtige Haltung beim Schreiben.Es fing sehr leicht an und es geht nicht um grade Linien an sich, sondern, dass das Kind zwischen den gezeigten Linien bleibt.Meiner hat das Heft innerhalb einer Woche fertig gemacht. Seit dem kaufe ich viele Hefte aus der Reihe.Schade, dass es nie Innenansichten der Hefte vorab gibt. Deswegen versuche ich diese mit den Rezensionen hoch zu laden, für andere, die sich unsicher sind :-)

excelente para home school
