Review: A+ Activities For First grade is a fabulous resource for both parents and teachers. Each of the activties that I am using are easy to present and cost very little. These are two components that mean a lot to a teacher with ltittle extra time and $. Parents have commented that their children love the "extras" presented in this interesting and creative handbook.It's a perfect gift for the holidays. Any teacher or parent will love it. It is adaptable to any age group. A terrific buy too!! My compliments to Naomi Singer and Matt Miller.

Review: A+ Activities for First Grade is definitely the best interactive book I have purchased for my daughter. It is also superior to any of the computer interactive software out there for children because it really gets back to the basics (paper and pencil in hand). It also allows my daughter and I to spend more time together to do fun learning activities that I would never be able to make up on my own. I especially like the "Family Write-Along" which helps my daughter's writing, spelling and drawing skills all at the same time. And, again, it allows us to have quality family time while helping our daughter improve upon learning the skills that are so important at this age. Most importantly, my daughter looks forward to the time we spend using this book. The authors that wrote this book should be commended on a job very well done.

Review: As a parent and teacher I highly recommend this book. Not only does it provide sound explanations of skills from A to Z, it also presents a rich array of fun-filled, creative activities to support the young learner across the curriculum. We'll be celebrating Language Arts, Science, Math, and Social Studies together with the help of this book. This book is fabulous!!!

Review: I am using this book with my preschool son to reinforce the letters and sounds. This book contains simple, easy to make and learn ideas for games that teach big concepts. There are plenty of ideas to accommodate different learning styles.

Summary: Chock-full of Entertainment
Review: The activities in this book are terrific. It's just what we were looking for in order to have a truly fun time learning with our child. All of the necessary basics and so much more are covered here in entertaining and exciting ways. It's become our hand book for preparing her for the year ahead. The book is a wealth of information all presented in a warm and joyful fashion. I think it's a must for all parents with children at this critical age. I must admit I'm learning a lot too, and having fun.

Review: This is a fantastic book by 2 very dedicated professional educators. It is very worthwhile both for its 'fun' interactive activities with your children, and as an extremely valuable educational tool for 'stealth teaching'! (Your child thinks they are just playing, while they are secretly being educated!) We have also found it very useful in helping your child with any learning 'issues', (reading, math, etc.) using enjoyable, interactive activities.

We VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book

Summary: Support your child's learning in first grade.
Review: When given the opportunity to write a book of first grade activities, we enthusiastically agreed. Innumerable times in our experience as teachers, we have been asked by parents, "What can we do at home to support our child's learning?" A+ Activities for First Grade is our best effort to answer this question. We teach in an inclusive school system that celebrates diversity. The parents, teachers and administrators of our school communities have developed core values that emphasize a love of learning, respect for self and others, academic excellence and commitment to school and community. Each of these values has been a driving force in the writing of this book and in the work we do each day with our students. Just as we embrace these values in our classrooms, so do parents embrace them at home. We took on the challenge to write this book because we truly believe that parents working in partnership with teachers make a huge and positive difference in the education of young children. The goal of A+ Activities for First Grade is to extend classroom learning to the world around you. As you use these activities, build on your child's strengths to enhance your first grader's self confidence and positive self image. Have fun and enjoy learning! By taking an active and participatory part in your child's learning, you not only support your first grader's developing skills, but also demonstrate the value that you place on learning. Ask questions, explore and observe together. Celebrate your child's learning by praising, encouraging and valuing all efforts. In so doing, you create a safe environment for learning and share the joyful experience of discovery.

Have a great year in grade one!

Naomi and Matt
