With School back in session, our friends over at Parragon sent over a couple of books that we were able to share with friends, who home school younger children!
First up- for kids in first and second grade, a book from Parragon's new line, Learnalots, that can be either supportive work, or part of your curriculum!
All the products in the Learnalots Learning System feature the following 5 keys aspects:
1. Eight Subjects: Literacy, math, science, art, social skills, music, health and nature
2. Essential concepts and skills in core subject areas: The content is based on national standards for early learning
3. Parent/Child Interactive: Activities designed for parents and children to complete together. Research has proven that children learn better when their parents are actively involved in their education.
4. Fun: The Learnalot characters help make learning fun! The characters model the wonder, adventure, and fun of learning new things.
5. Builds Confidence: Success builds success! The activities break educational concepts into simple steps that young children can understand.
The Learnalots Let's Learn Second Grade is a fun interactive workbook for ages 7-8. This educational workbook has 256 perforated pages, covering eight subjects, including nature, reading, writing and much more to build academic skills. The fun activities are designed to build confidence in young children and for parents and children to complete together. This book also includes over 100 reward stickers. The Learnalots will inspire your child to learn something new every day!
As you can see, the work pages are not overtaxing for second graders, but rather just the right amount. In fact, they might want to do more than usual, thanks to the fun characters! I love how critical thinking is taught with fun games, like the mazes, where kids don;t realize the skills they are learning. It would be easy to use this book for extra homework help in deficient areas, or as your primary home school workbook for the year! It's a great new line, and I highly recommend it!
The Learnalots line covers Pre-school to Second grade.
And the second book is great for starting nightly devotions for younger children, or for sharing with additional younger children in the family!
Synopsis:
Snuggle up with your little one and get ready for bedtime with this book of classic and modern bedtime prayers. Sweet, vibrant illustrations paired with timeless rhyming prayers will make Bedtime Prayers a nighttime favorite for you and your child. This lovely book is illustrated by Stephen Whitlow.
As you can see, this book features adorable illustrations, and even though it is aimed at very young children, it can serve as an early reader for the post 4 year old crowd. Especially those that like to read to younger siblings. The prayers all offer ideas within them for parents to discuss the day's events with kids, and thinks they should he thankful for. It's an adorable book to give as a gift as well, thanks to its sturdy board book type with its padded cover.
Stay tuned for next week, for some books from Parragon, for older kids too!
