Help your kindergartner grow into a go-getting first grader! Kindergarten Basics introduces skills needed for getting ready to read and learn basic math operations. The colorful pictures on each page add an extra dimension to critical thinking by allowing your child to make assumptions and draw conclusions about what is happening. A pencil or crayon and a little encouragement and guidance from you are all your child needs to get started! Each page focuses on an essential skill while encouraging creativity, reasoning, and problem solving. Charming illustrations, clear instructions and lots of variety make it fun. The School Zone Basics series can be used to reinforce what is being taught at school or introduce new skills to a child who needs more challenging material. Its slim size makes it easy to tuck into tote bags and backpacks.
