sahm99 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 My little guy (3) seems ready to get serious. :tongue_smilie: He is spending his morning sitting next to me doing colouring pages... What else is there to do? I am thinking of the most basic Kumon-like exercises (link-the-dots, etc.) Is there a site (even paying) that has a nice collection? For the time being I am not really interested in letter recognition or anything academic... We would really need the most basic material...drawing lines, shapes... I can't imagine it's this time, yet! My second youngest just turned nine and it seems like yesterday that I scratched my head wondering about how to keep her busy during school! :crying: Thank you!

Tawlas Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Not a website but rod and staff has very basic, very gentle workbooks for littles. We are secular and it's not an issue - if that is a concern. I'm using it occasionally with my 3 yo boy. About Three is the name of the first. They're very reasonably priced.

celticadea Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I also liked the R&S earlier preschool set. although I kept them for learning to follow directions. meaning...random scribbling and coloring was fine on other sheets but those "school books" and had to be treated nicely. it ended up being a really good way to judge readiness. at first getting through one page was a challenge. we'd put them away again for a bit. one day, she completed an entire book in one sitting! I knew she was ready to start doing more of "real" school. I liked them more than the standard store workbooks because there seems to be a plan and purpose to the order of the pages. I often like the pages I find on a blog called mama's learning corner, too. I haven't used them yet, but I found a site called education.com (through pbskids.org ->choose parents -> link on side). you can pay by the book or a subscription. they look pretty good. I think I'm going to print some out myself :) sprout online.com also has nice printables. and scholastic.com/parents has printables by age/grade down to prek/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinD Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 www.Sparklebox.co.uk and www.twinkl.co.uk have tons of free printables by subject, up to about grade 4. Most of my supplementary worksheets come ffrom them. On Twinkl, if you look under the parents section, there are a bunch of pencil line worksheets that I found particularly helpful at your son's age.
