My First Book Of Uppercase Letters (Kumon Workbooks)

Its a good begining for the rookies in tracing. Takes them step by step. Only gripe is the letters used for tracing are huge. I am wondering whether it is because it would be much easier for them to write smaller when they get to do it..dunno.

Disappointed. I bought the book after reading the description that it is unmarked and Like new. Half of the pages were marked and that too in ink. Since the book has lot of tracing exercise for kids, marking does not help. The book itself is a great learning tool for kids. I just wish the description was honest.

As a homeschooling mom I think the Kumon My First Book of Uppercase Letters is the best introductory preschool workbook for learning to write letters. This workbook is not in alphabetical order, so if you are looking for this kind of workbook then this is not for you. But, if you are going to continue on with Kumon, Handwriting Without Tears or Zaner-Bloser then this shouldn't be a problem.

This workbook is not meant to have your child perfect writing letters within a single workbook and is meant to give children the confidence to start writing letters. I feel that this workbook is just long enough for introductory letter writing practice and gives kids a sense of accomplishment after completing the book. You will need to continue on with other workbooks to perfect handwriting.

I love how big the letters are on every page and review of letters learned. This workbook also reinforces how to hold a pencil correctly. I personally liked using this book along with the Kumon Lowercase Letters before starting the Handwriting Without Tears program. We started using this workbook at three years old with my son and were able to finish the HWT My First School Book by the time he was four.

Ages: The three to five years old age range is very appropriate for this workbook. Multiple Children: A workbook is needed for each child.

This book (and the whole concept) is brilliant. I'm not one to push my kids to do things before they are ready, but as far as I'm concerned, if a child loves something you go with it, and my daughter loves this book. She is 2 yrs 9 months and wanted a "workbook" like her big sister so I got this thinking that she would really only scribble in it. After a few pages, she had learned how to draw straight and curved lines with control, and after a few more pages could trace most letters! She still can't quite get all of them (and at her age that's fine) - I'm going to go back and get the "Tracing" book because I think that is a better start for 2-year olds. This is a fun book for young kids who are interested in learning the basics of letter writing.

This is a great book for learning how to correctly write the uppercase letters. The book is tracing of letters which gave my son, just turned 5, a lot of confidence in his writing. The only problem is that there really needs to be a part 2 for this book to help the children move from tracing these letters to writing them. The next 4 books in the recommended sequence all deal with lowercase letters, so the child is not given the opportunity to practice the uppercase letters.

This book was great for starting my daughter out with writing skills. My wife and I blindly assumed that we should start with the letters in her name (R) but the book has the kids starting out with straight lines (T, H, E, etc...). That makes a lot more sense. My daughter looks forward to working on her letters.

One watchout: I was told that most parents teach their kids to spell there names in all caps. However, I'm told this is very hard for teachers to correct once the kids start school.

Only reservation that I have about the book is that I'm guessing I will to need to buy several of them since the pages are single use.

I recently purchased the uppercase, lowercase, paper cutting and tracing mazes. My son is 3 1/2 and he is enjoying doing all of them. It's a fun and easy way to make them learn things. He is even learning to cut paper a straight line now. I make him work on the mazes and straight lines, then move on to the uppercase letters. It really helps him keep straight lines and also get the edges properly.
