My First Grade Workbook:
101 Games & Activities to Support First Grade Skills,
by Brittany Lynch,
Illustrations by Robin Boyer
Juvenile Nonfiction/Activity Books
Like for the previous book, I was totally blown away by the great content and cute illustrations. I wish I were a kid again, and using all these fantastic resources available today, like this book.
101 great games and activities to support the skills developed by first graders (ages 6 to 7) for school. They are presented in 4 major color coded sections:
- Reading and Writing skills: recognizing letters, learning to trace them.
Recognizing and building words. Understanding a text and answering questions. Writing a story!
- Math skills: counting, measuring, fractions, addition, subtraction. Reading the clock, counting money
- Science skills: the weather, the seasons, animals, nature (even the life cycle of a flower!), matter, the solar system
- and Social Studies skills (this part was less developed, with only 6 activities): jobs and occupations, directions in a city.
I really enjoyed the variety of games and activities, even rhyming and logic games!
And really the illustrator Robin Boyer did a fantastic job.
There’s also a cute page at the beginning to help the child track his/her progress in the book.
And an answer key at the end!
I know exactly who is going to receive this book at Christmas!
Just so you know, both authors have published a similar title for Kindergarten in July 2019.
VERDICT: Gorgeous and very smart workbook for first graders.
