Great starter book

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

Bought this book along with others to start practicing hand/pencil coordination and handwriting with my 4 yr old son. I followed another reviewer’s tip and also placed each sheet in plactic sheet covers and into a 3-ring binder then practiced on them with dry erase markers. This is an excellent tip to practice multiple times on the same sheets. My son enjoyed working on his “homework” as he calls it and asks to work on it on his own. This is a very basic book and would benefit most a child begining to learn to write. Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase and would recommend.

Could be better…

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022

This book uses green dots (start) and red dots (end) which are a great way to teach children where to begin and end. I was pleased on the practice pages until we reached the actual letters which no longer include the red and green dots, so the system the child learned is no longer present and the child doesn’t know where to start or end. Could be easily improved by the publisher if they want to make a better product. I’m on the lookout for something better!

Great for kids that have no fine motor skills

I bought this book for my 4 year old daughter in preparation for kindergarten because she was not confident or coordinated enough to begin a marking book involving writing her own letters and numbers. Unlike many other books I’ve purchased, this book doesn’t introduce the letters in alphabetical order but rather in a developmentally appropriate order. She hasn’t wanted to put this book down since I bought it and has finally made attempts at writing her own numbers and letters.

Just go buy it right now!

Let me start by saying I literally can’t think of a con with this book. I was looking for something that didn’t go in alpha order, but by order of difficulty. This does that. So your kid gets some quick “wins” with T, and lower case l. Instead of getting stuck on uppercase B right away haha. Pros: There are a ton of activities. They keep my kid’s attention. The “story” is clear for each page. (Ex: You’re drawing straight lines to make the sides of a rectangular crayon.) It appeals to boys, girls; kids who like space or sports. It has nature and community helpers; fairy tales and animals. Some pages are funny (ex: mice on slides). They have a clear “go” dot (green) and “stop” dot (red). The pages are thick. (I did like a lot of reviewers and placed in page protectors in a binder - to use with dry erase.) My 3-year-old even works on them independently at the table while I make dinner. — The book is inexpensive and high quality. You won’t regret just buying it.

EVERYONE WITH A KID MUST BUY!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

This year has been a nightmare my daughter was ill-prepared for kindergarten I had no idea the amount of preparation it took. If I had any idea I would have bought this during the year prior and practice with her. We are a month into Kindergarten and she is doing so great with writing letters. For the life of her she could not write S and with this little gem, she writes S beautiful along with numbers. It helps to know how to move the pencil around. Will be buying again for my soon to be three years old.

Good for beginning writers

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020

I feel *slightly* bad at my environmental footprint with this book. It's totally great for kids who are learning to control their pencil grip, but there's like three activities on each page. I know that's because their attention span is just about that long (my four year old does one page, front and back, and is over it), but it feels kinda wasteful. That being said, I really wanted him to practice writing on paper with a pencil because a dry erase marker is almost too easy. He needed to get the feel for the weight and pressure of a pencil versus lightly dragging a marker over a slick surface and getting the same result. I'm overall happy with the purchase - good book, perforated pages, cute illustrations, lots of color. Probably 5 stars if I could reconcile with my wasteful feeling.

Tracing fanatic! Had to buy XL ink to print.

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020

My kid is only 3 and a half in pre-k and hates freehand writing at the moment because he doesn't like to make mistakes. These are the perfect practice pages. I like how it follows a method of tracing directions and letters that follow along with the directional tracing. So if you are looking for the perfect A-Z letters in order, this is not the one for you. For example... if the pages are helping him trace straight lines first then he learns how to write letters following that direction such as the letter H, L, I and so on. The downside is having to spend $50+ on ink. I went through all my color ink which is why I bought the sleeves for extra use while hes still practicing. Other than that he loves every single page. He will sit and do about 5 pages a day in one sitting.

Very nice handwriting book

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2018

These worksheets are perfect for improving eye-hand motor control for writing. We actually tore out the pages and placed them in plastic pages used for photo albums so that we could use dry erase makers and use them over and over again. Out 4 year old really enjoys tracing the designs which include cute pictures as well as letters. The almost 3 year old is also interested in trying to trace the lines and feels that she is learning to write also. There are 126 practice pages and the paper has a good thickness. This is an excellent product for some home practice for preschool and early school age children.

Love this tracing book and would like to see more follow this style

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020

Excellent tracing book. Kiddo loves tracing the pictures and it really made tracing the letters interesting. Love that the pages are easy to tear out so kiddo can lay them flat and not have to practice inside a book that keeps closing. Learning the letters in this order really is helping kiddo gain control better than standard alphabetical order. Kiddo even asked to work several pages in a row that we have not done in other tracing books as just working the alphabet in order is too boring for preschooler. We worked through this book quickly. I looked on here and saw some people put the pages into plastic to be able to repeat them. That’s a great idea as we’d like to do another book like this but not seeing many that follow this tracing/letter practice style. If you have a toddler/preschooler starting to learn pen control and writing letters get this book.

Like the way alphabet is arranged

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2018

Excellent! Alphabets are arranged by how easy it is to write. So letter like “L” amd “T” are in front of book, interspersed by relevant line exercises (drawing and tracing) that help the child’s pencil coordination writing those letters.
