Meadowlark Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Is it appropriate for a 1st grader? What types of logic activities are included? Would you recommend it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 It's on the easy side, but yes, absolutely it's good for first graders. The activities mostly don't involve reading and none involve writing. There are a variety of different puzzles, including analogies and deductive reasoning and puzzle pictures and so forth. It was a favorite workbook when my kids were in first grade, though I admit we flew through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 My DD (in 1st) worked on it this year. It was a bit early, but she did like it. The only writing was mainly filling in numbers (to put events in order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I haven't used it - but I have learned to never give them the book if I think they will want to do more than a page! I copy the page... then make them wait :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2boys030507 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 My son used book 1 and 2 for K. He will work through book 3 in first then we will move on to another logic book. Many days logic is my carrot to get other things done :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwik Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 So if you had a just 6 year old who is a reasonable reader (magic tree house in a couple of hours) what would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicAnn Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 It is a favorite of my 5 yo. But yes, pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Personally, I'd recommend Visual Discrimination. http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Discrimination-Grades-2-8/dp/1583240039/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367792768&sr=8-1&keywords=visual+discrimination Lollipop logic was well-liked by my children, but they never got any wrong. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Way of My People Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My K'er loves Lollipop Logic! I rip out ONE page per school day for him to do (otherwise he'd do the whole book in one sitting). Usually, it's easy for him, but some days it poses a bit of a challenge. I've also purchased, but not yet gotten to: http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Discrimination-Grades-2-8/dp/1583240039/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1367852592&sr=1-1&keywords=visual+discrimination http://www.amazon.com/Analogies-Beginners-Dianne-Draze/dp/1593630468/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_y Good luck!
