I ordered 2 of these, one for my 6.5 year old and one for my four year old. They both LOVE them! The different sections, like sequencing, inferences, patterns, critical thinking and more are great because they provide a variety of areas to focus that relate directly to what the kids are learning in school and also give them choices on what section they want to work on that day. The kids can do the books independently, but we have been doing them together because there is am awesome Parent Prompt on each page. These prompts are so helpful and make it so easy to work with your child. This is not something I've ever seen before. The kids get so excited when we get to that part on the bottom of the page as they love the interaction with me in this guided way. Some of our discussions have lead to fun conversations and they all really inspire the kids to use curiosity and higher level thinking. It's great to see them so engaged and wanting to do more and more prompts, and without a screen! So far one of the favorite pages was on ingredients and the prompt said, "Ask your child, What is another ingredient you can add to each picture that would make sense?" My child chose the peanut butter and jelly sandwich photo first and we talked about adding all kinds of ingredients. We ended with lemon and then actually made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich together with lemon, which led to some special bonding time over exploring these ingredients. Another favorite prompt we did was lining up the family by height, as the kids even got the dog involved and a tape measure. The book goes beyond any workbook I've seen, and the kids are so excited to work on them when I pull them out. Excited to learn is always a win in my book and getting to do it together as they extend their understanding of the content has been really fun and easy. Great price too for the content and value inside! I already ordered more to give as gifts.
