momsuz123 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 So my middle dd is struggling some with reading and writing. We are working on it, trust me. But I am getting the sense she wants to some workbooks that are more at her level and well, fun and cute. I am thinking I could have her do a page or two after her calendar notebook. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorisuewho Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Are you looking for language arts type workbooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DandelionPrincess Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 explode the code is cute and fun (and fairly cheap!), my son does 2-5 pages a day within a half an hour, depending on focus level. i'm not sure what level you're at, but they start at CVC words in book 1 and move to more complicated things, maybe someone else will be able to direct you to the right level. (we've only done book 1 so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 We have done the BrainQuest workbooks for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 So, easy workbooks? Maybe Lollipop Logic? It's on the easy side for a 7 yo, but it sounds like you want easy. Tin Man Press also has some cute stuff, but it might be challenging. It depends. Scholastic ebooks can also have some cute things. How about a math line designs book - where you practice your fact facts and color in the picture? The Usborne Big Book of Sticker Math is fun and cute. No deep thinking, but math in a very low stress way. It was great for my ds at that age because it was so easy and yet satisfying for some reason. It built up his confidence really fast (because he finished it in no time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for the ideas. Yes, more language arts was my initial thought, but I am going to look into the math sticker books now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 My DC love the Rod and Staff preschool series...They say "preschool", but they are great for 1st graders. You can skip ahead in the series...my 6yo has only done books A and G. Kumon books have also been a big hit here...very colorful and a variety of subjects! They've also enjoyed ETC. I just switched my DD over to MCP since it was cheaper (and a bit more colorful). It has more writing than ETC and some letter flashcards that she's been enjoying.
