Kumon Grade 1 Reading (Kumon Reading Workbooks)

Best quality and learning tool!

I used this for my 4 year old daughter, who is in PreK 4. She was able to do most of it without help, although I had to read some of the passages to her toward the end. I find Kumon reading books to be more appealing because they are in color, very straightforward, and are a good supplement to a first grade vocabulary program at home. I taught her to read the first grade words, and this was a good addition to going more deeply into the first grade vocabulary. The books are very reasonable priced, and most importantly, I didn't have to persuade her to do them. Definitely recommend.

While this is a good book, I do not think it allows independent work true to the Kumon Method unless your student is a confident reader. I used the Sight Words series in oder to get my son through this and the Grade 1 Writing. They recommend the Rhyming series but I did not find t as helpful as the Sight Words series. All my kids use Kumon and it this was another good one.My son is a 5yr old homeschooler.

The basic layout is the student reads a passage and answers question for comprehension. The main focus is sequencing and vocabulary. It's ideal for honing those first grade reading skills.

I have quite a few other workbooks which I have tried with homesccooling my first child. I discovered the Kumon books and really love them. My daughter does too - they are not as simple (and annoying to her) as the other books (school speciality, Learn at home... Those are OK, and i use them as a supplement to Kumon) Her reading and writing skills have jumped ahead since using the Kumon books, and only after about a month! This was after several months using other workbooks. I am very impressed, and have bought other books in the series. The math books and maze books are great too.Great content, Excellent quality paper too.

I have a 6 year old daughter. She loves to read thanks to Big brother and Teacher.I have been thinking about putting her in Kumon classes as my son used to go for two years and we had a great experience.With my daughter, I thought of buying this book and see if she is ready to learn Kumon way.I was amazed to see how she liked doing her homework every day. The answer key helped me grade quickly.It is a great resource for the value of the book.I will be buying Kumon books in the future.

i have heard a lot about the institution so when i saw these workbooks i was hopeful, i didnt know it would be as amazing as it has been. My kindergartner, though he had started to read was very independent and always needed to be reminded to stop wasting time and finish his work, he also had to be explained for an extensive amount of time as of what was needed of him after helping jhi, with just two chapters on this book, all i had to tell him was, its homework time, and he would automatically take out the next chapter and do it in timely manner, also being able to grade himself gives him more motivation to keep getting more score. i am done with this book in a month and now i am ordering the next ones.. thanks kumon

My 1st grader struggled with reading and this book has been great for him. His teacher said it below his grade level and maybe so but because it was less words and done in smaller increments he did really well with and improved in his overall reading.
