Book Reviews of My First Book Of Cutting (Kumon Workbooks)
Book Review: Fast Skill Builder
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend this book for anyone who would like to help their child develop fine motor skills. Make sure to wait till your child is ready to hold the scissors properly and follow instruction before beginning the book. Once the child is ready - you will be surprised how interested in the book they become and how quickly their skills improve. When I looked through the book I thought maybe it was going to move a little too fast, but now I see that it actually improves the child's skills that quickly!
I bought this book for my daughter when she was almost 3 but discovered she was not quite ready for it. She would not hold the scissors properly and became frustrated when I tried to show her how to hold them so there was no point it doing this book under those circumstances. So instead I provided plain construction paper cut into different shapes and left whole for her to work on her skills individually. Many times she would only cut once into the paper and not want to follow a line into the paper. Then recently (around 3 ?) I re-introduced the book. She made it all the way down the gray lines on the page. I was so proud of her. Then as we did a page a day (sometimes every other day) I couldn't believe it when a about a week later she was cutting zig zag lines, cutting cut candy bars, and making a bed for a dolly. She looks ahead in the book and is excited about the next projects. The paper is high quality and printed with bright colors. Now when she works on cutting construction paper she can cut out new shapes on her own. I only wish they had an advanced version so she can continue on after she completes this one!
Book Review: Improved daughter's fine motor skills within a week
Summary: 5 Stars
I know it sounds crazy, but my 3 year old daughter went from scribbling indecipherable pictures to creating defined shapes and drawing actual objects after using this cutting book for a few days in a row last week. I do believe this book and of course, the time my husband spent working with her, have improved her fine motor skills quite noticeably. She also loves it and is now using scissors to cut out pictures for other projects. I highly recommend this book!Book Review: Step by step, direct and to the point.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Kumon series books, but what is more important is that my son loves the Kumon series books. The book goes step by step in buiding the confidence of the child in a given skill. The pages are visually appealing, and much better quality than most workbooks. My son is 4 1/2 and we are currently working on the "My First Cutting Book" and "Number Games 1 - 70". We have brought others in the series, but I am waiting to start them. They require writing numbers or letters and we are working the foundation of these skills through "Handwriting without tears" series.
The "Big Workbooks" contain all of the skills in one workbook, but they don't go step by step or as in depth as the Kumon series does. When all of the individual books are added together they are going to cost more than the big workbooks, but it is worth the money.
