So helpful. My daughter is able to write but stamps are still really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2849223 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 11:49:08 +0000 Hypatia 2849223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: I think it was $6. It's worth it to me to be able to be able to keep,it open to the last page we were on. The only downside is that the pages may tear our of the spiral binding if you're rough with them, though we haven't had muhc of a problem. You can also pay for a hard plastic cover for an additional fee if you want. </p> <p>A word of caution. Be sure to emphasize to the employee that the binding needs to be cut off so that it doesn't cut off the content of the book. I've heard stories of inexperienced / careless employees cutting too much of the margin off of workbooks so that the pages were ruined. I don't think it happens often, but it's worth pointing out to try to prevent that from happening. </p> <p>If your preschooler can't write yet, what we did was buy a set of self inking number stamps from Amazon (0-9). My DD loved choosing the correct one and stamping it in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2849197 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 10:13:30 +0000 Alba4 2849197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one that was a Highlights one. DS likes to work on his letters and color things. He also lives mazes, so your kid might like a book of mazes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2848971 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 14:19:40 +0000 SupernovaJ 2848971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: Thanks so much for this recommendation. I just ordered a couple of books for the pre-K level after going to the site and looking through some of the sample pages. Thanks for the awesome suggestion. </p> <p>Do you recall how much it was at Kinkos/ Staples to get it into a spiral bound? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847789 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 05:53:47 +0000 hitchhiker 2847789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Lots of good options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847776 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 22:17:35 +0000 poppygirl15 2847776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter really likes the Star Wars themed work books. You can get them on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847751 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 18:57:01 +0000 Mrsbells 2847751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hitchhiker: we like the brainquest workbooks.They are in most book stores or on Amazon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847743 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 17:54:09 +0000 MrsSRS 2847743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kumon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847628 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 10:28:36 +0000 looch 2847628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Greg Tang for supplemental work. Our school uses Everyday Math for their regular program but had begun supplementing with his worksheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847566 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 05:45:34 +0000 hitchhiker 2847566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia &amp; @Desertdreams88: This looks perfect! Thanks so much. </p> <p>@Dolphin: yep, we have the highlights big kindergarten workbook, too. I thought she would love it because she loves the games in highlights, but she is way more focused on the more math-y pages and now she's finished all of those. She gives me the side eye when I suggest the games that she seems to love in the mag. </p> <p>@pinkelephant: duh, I should ask her teacher! Thanks for that suggestion. I just emailed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847556 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 00:34:00 +0000 DesertDreams88 2847556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Hypatia: .</p> <p>As a teacher, for workbooks, I have liked "Spectrum" and "Teacher Created Resources." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847555 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 23:42:47 +0000 Hypatia 2847555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Future homeschooler here. What you’re looking for is Mathematical Reasoning.</p> <p><a href="https://www.criticalthinking.com/mathematical-reasoning-level-a.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.criticalthinking.com/mathematical-reasoning-level-a.html</a></p> <p>It’s 250 pages of colorful worksheet type math. It teaches not only your standard K curriculum, but as the name suggests, reasoning and problem solving skills. </p> <p>The only bad thing I can say about it is that I wish it was spiral bound. But you can take it to Kinkos or Staples to have them cut the binding off and replace it with spiral for a low fee. </p> <p>The type of math books you find at Walmart are not written to a high standard and are not really meant to educate in any but the most casual sense. I think you really need to look at workbooks like the one I linked that were written by professional educators as a complete curriculum. But of course, I’m biased. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847548 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 21:47:20 +0000 dolphin 2847548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter loves homework too. She gets so excited when I tell her it’s homework time. :silly: She’s in K now but when she was in preschool we got her “Big Kindergarten” workbook and “Big First Grade” workbook and she loved those. You can order it from Amazon or Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847538 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 20:53:18 +0000 PinkElephant 2847538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dollar Tree has some decent workbooks for early reading/writing, as well as math. We had a cute Disney Princess addition/subtraction book this summer - I'd say it might be a little more appropriate for a second semester kindergartner or first grader than a new kindergartner, but some pages are a lot easier than others, and you could always modify them with counters of some sort.</p> <p>Also, have you asked her teacher? When I asked my DD's teacher for things we could work on at home, she sent DD home with literally a hundred copied pages from workbooks similar to those they use in school. Similarly, you can find TONS of free printables online by googling the grade level and topic - or specific workbook company if you want to use the same things they do in school.</p> <p>I do NOT like the Brain Quest workbooks - my daughter thinks they're fun, but I think the activities are super easy, and don't necessarily target things I'd want her to spend her time on...but if you're doing workbooks just for fun, your DD might like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/workbooks-for-kindergartener#post-2847525 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 19:17:21 +0000 hitchhiker 2847525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kindergartner LOVED homework in preschool (I was opposed to it and complained to the school but once she saw it she was obsessed and I couldn't stop her). There is no homework in her kindergarten, but she has started asking for me to make up homework for her. She has the Highlights kindergarten workbook, but is almost done with it. She's particularly asking for more math problems. Are there any workbooks you've used that you would recommend? </p>
