Clpretzel Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Help me fill my ds's workboxes so that he can do school like his syblings. The little guy wants worksheets like the older ones.

rocketgirl Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 a couple of things we've done, just because she wanted it: Kumon Mazes, Math U See Primer work sheets :) now we're moving on to letters, words & reading, Yay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBlessings Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I second the suggestion for Kumon workbooks. My dd just turned 4 and she's been liking them for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart_Mom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You'd have to do them with your child, but the Developing the Early Learner workbooks are great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Researcher Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 When my DD was that age, she really like the ETC primer books. They're called Get Set for the Code and come in three levels: A, B, and C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinD Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Kumon books are great. I also got a BrainQuest PK workbook from Rainbow Resource that's been a big hit around here. I think it was about $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occasionally Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Seconding the BrainQuest PK workbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We've done Kumon, Rod&Staff, and lots of stuff from the Internet. I could tailor the Internet stuff to her interest du jour. I got some here. We also find things at kaboose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any workbook suggestions for a bright 3 year old? I'm also in central PA :) My 3 year old really likes the Rod & Staff preschool workbooks and the Kumon activity books (cutting, pasting, mazes).

boscopup Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Rod & Staff ABC series is great for that age (if you're ok with Christian content). I started the first book at 3.5 for my middle son. I really love the way they teach number formation. I keep meaning to make some cards to go on the wall with the numbers and those sayings. Also, any used workbooks that my older kids are done with, my youngest gets. He thinks he really is doing math when he pulls out the used Singapore EM K book A. :D Just yesterday, he was with his brother on my bed, all doing math. He said, "How many cats are there?" I said, "Zero! Those are rabbits!" :lol: But really, he has fun counting the critters on the page or pointing out the numbers or trying to write the numbers himself. And it's totally ok if he doesn't do the page exactly as you're supposed to since it's already done. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Re-using the completed workbooks is a good idea. I JUST threw away a bunch of completed workbooks from when my oldest two were in PreK-1st grade; I should have held on to a few for my 3yo to use! She insists on doing school multiple times per day. I am using the R&S 3-4 year old books with her right now (starts with About Three), plus have the ABC series here. She already did Book A from that series. I'm slowing her down by telling her she has to color everything on the page before she's allowed to move on. :) For example, in About Three, the first few pages just have them following a path from left to right, so all they really have to do is draw a few lines. I told her she also had to color the houses, wheelbarrows, etc. Same thing with "which one is different" pages. She doesn't just put an X on the different picture. She also colors everything. So, that idea would work for dc who aren't opposed to coloring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smdgl Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We used Frank Schaeffer and workbooks from WalMart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilka Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I used to love making creative worksheets for my ds when he was that age, simple, colorful stuff: draw a line from this to that circle all the _________ complete the picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We like the Rod & Staff workbooks too (the About Three series). Much of it, my 3 yr. old can do on her own. We also like to take cheapie workbooks, remove the binding, and put them in page protectors. Then they can use them over and over w/ a dry erase pen.

pitterpatter Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Larger bookstores and teacher-supply stores have spinner racks of inexpensive little workbooks by Carson-Dellosa. They are color-printed. Might take a peak at those. They look like this. Amazon also carries them. I would suggest logging onto the Carson-Dellosa Web site for a preview of each before buying.

Tawlas Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 1+1+1=1 and homeschool creations (i think) have many worksheets for the younger ones, in a million different themes. My boys aren't really into worksheets and books but they loved the monster truck and Cars themed pages. There's something for everyone!

Clpretzel Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 These are awesome suggestions. I've looked into them all now and stopped pitching my used worksheets for the older ones. You all rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jen* Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 My 2 and 4 year old love the Brainquest PreK and K books. They also love any dry erase books I can find. I have things like the Kumon shape and letter cards, and other dry erase maze books. The 4 year old does them all correctly and the almost 3 year old thinks it's great fun to get to use my dry erase markers that normally I don't let him touch.
