Excellent gentle introduction

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

I used this product for a six-year-old in first grade. She can write her uppercase letters pretty well, but has absolutely refused to write the lowercase ones, saying they are too hard. I tried other handwriting workbooks that were for first-graders, and they left her yelling that they were way too hard and that I didn't understand how much I was expecting of her.

This book focuses very heavily on tracing letters, with almost no free writing. I wasn't sure whether this would leave her able to write her lowercase letters without the guides, but the final few lessons do include writing without tracing, and she did a great job with those. The letters to trace start out very large, and then are smaller after a child has practiced the larger versions.

6yo tore through this book in three days. At first I was worried I'd overshot and it was way too easy for her, but she was SO proud of herself, and started being willing to write lowercase letters. It really gave her the chance to recover and gain the confidence to do grade-level work.

Overall, fantastic resource. Handwriting can be so hard for kids, and this book is makes it much easier while still building the skills kids need. Highly recommend it as a learning resource.

Best Preschool Introductory Lowercase Letters Workbook!

Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

The Kumon My First Book of Lowercase Letters is meant to be used after the Kumon Uppercase Letters workbook and is the best introductory preschool workbook for learning to write lowercase letters. The letters are not taught in alphabetical order, but this should not be a problem if you are going to use Kumon, Handwriting Without Tears and/or Zaner-Bloser handwriting workbooks. I love how big the letters are on every page and the review of letters learned. This workbook is not meant to perfect handwriting in a single workbook, and you will need to select other workbooks to build upon this one. The Kumon books are a great intro workbook to use before starting a more formal program. We used this book along with the uppercase letters workbook before starting the Handwriting Without Tears program. This workbook also reinforces how to hold a pencil correctly. Ages: The four to six years old age range is appropriate for this workbook although my kids completed this workbook at four years old. Multiple Children: A workbook is needed for each child.

Great book to help teach kids to write lowercase letters.

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

Great book to help teach kids letters. I have actually used this book several times with my 8 year old. He writes letters, but sometimes can be a little sloppy. When he starts to get sloppy we bought another set of upper and lowercase letters and make him start over. They are quick easy books. Starts off with straight lines, then goes into 3 letters, then review of the letters in the start of a word with a picture of that word. Kumon makes good products and this is another good one.

5 year old grandson with special needs used Kumon to prepare for Kindergarten. Wonderful!

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

very sequential - teaches letters in the order in which they will be easiest to learn to write. My grandson, 5, with special needs finished it and other Kumon books to ready him for Kindergarten. We waited an extra year for him to start Kindergarten and prepared him with Kumon materials to ready him for Kindergarten. Each time he finishes a Kumon book, he gets to either put the certificate on my wall or take it home to mom and dad. I also give him his choice of a small prize for each workbook he completes. But the greatest prize he gets is the good feeling that he can learn. My prize is seeing the pride in his face and his increased calmness.

really well done

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2007

Verified Purchase

I bought four Kumon workbooks for my 5 year old. This will be our first year homeschooling and I am totally thrilled. With all of the workbooks there are about sixteen full color pages and after that they are printed in two-color. They are all very well organized, incremental and simply laid out. The illustrations are great - they make the pages interesting but they don't get in the way of the work. Some children might not like how similar every page is to the next, however for my child this will be absolutely perfect! She likes being confident in what she is supposed to do and enjoys doing the same (or similar) thing over and over.

The one thing about this particular book that I don't like is that I don't think it has quite enough review work. It goes like this: two pages of a new letter for three letters, then two pages of review for those three letters. The ten pages of a-z review at the end. I think I'll photocopy the review pages to have her do over.

I love the book and am confident that it will work really well.

Kumon books lay an excellent foundation

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great foundation skills. For the parents who complain that there isn't enough individulal letter practice, please know that they will get all of the practice that they need in "writing words". The Kumon curriculum is excellent and I am continuously amazed at how well the curriculum suits my son. Things that I iniitally think "this is too easy for him" prove to be just right. i can see him developing solid foundational skills page by page. I feel that this curriculim is filling the gaps left by the school system.

Minimalist and appropriate.

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Kumon's entire approach is a winning one, for me. The fact that there is a minimal amount of stuff for the children to focus on (unlike most workbooks, which are full of embellishments, graphics, and other frivolous nonsense), puts Kumon a cut above the rest. Clear, instructional, and helpful. I haven't seen a better set of learning materials, yet.

Daughter loved it!

Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

My 3-year-old flew through this workbook after finishing the Uppercase book. She loved it and would just do page after page with no supervision required (vs the Numbers 1-30 book, which I have to assist with). Her motor skills improved a lot and I love the progression of the Kumon books. I will never buy a different brand of workbook again, Kumon is vastly superior. I hate how other workbooks such as Brainquest teach letters, Kumon is much better. I also like that they practice saying the letter sounds and understand how they start words, it is a great way to get ready to read.

Genial!! Letras imprenta !!!

Reviewed in Spain on October 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

Genial! Para primer contacto con las letras y el abecedario esta genial. He contado muchas fotos porque me gustan muchos estos libros y la verdad que en ninguno hay fotos del interior y tampoco nadie las cuelga y es interesante saber cómo son para ver si son lo que unos está buscando y se acerca al nivel de tu niño. Se trata de hacer cada día dos paginas o más según el niño yo le hago más o menos pero sin que se agobie. En las primeras paginas empieza por cada letra del abecedario y por detrás ejemplos de palabras que empiezan con esa letra. Cada tres letras hacen una página conjunta de estas y la traerá también con ejemplos. Una vez ya se ha hecho todo el abecedario vuelven las plantillas de letra por letra con su página posterior de ejemplos. Cuando estás de acaban empieza el abecedario letra a letra en una misma página. Primero con puntitos y camino para reseguir, después solo con puntitos y finalmente con huecos para que el niño lo escriba solo con el ejemplo chiquitito al lado. Creo que está genial como primer libros para reconocer las letras, sus sonidos, etc... Siempre hay que tener en cuenta que el niño debe hacer estas paginas con la ayuda de un adulto para que vaya diciéndole los sonidos y poco a poco ya vaya siendo el niño quien los diga para así ir aprendiéndose todo el abecedario. Y sin mencionar que creo que es muy bonito... que en la última página del libro viene un diploma para que cuando el peque acabe el libro se lo entreguen. Genial no tengo ningún contra. Cada día 15 min es ideal 👌🏼.
