Book Reviews of Letters and Numbers for Me

Book Review: Builds strong foundation skills for writing.
Summary: 5 Stars

This workbook covers letter formation, starting with capital letters and then moving to lowercase. It focuses on proper technique, including where to start forming letters, letter orientation, and stroke order. I have used this program and the pre-k program with my sons. My 5 year old loves doing this. It has helped immensely with correcting reversals and cementing stroke order.

I agree that this book provides excellent instruction with little room for practice. Thankfully, the hwtears website has a worksheet generator that makes it easy to create copywork worksheets that match the style used in these books. The only thing that would be more helpful would be more of the "magic c" review pages and the grey box (for capital letters) review pages.

This book is easy to teach, even without using the Kindergarten Teacher's Guide. The TG does have some helpful suggestions for additional activities directed at body awareness and posture, which are both important for handwriting. However, I rarely referenced the TG and preferred to teach straight out of the workbook.
