A nice, simple, straightforward workbook on lower case letters. I'm no teacher, but I hear that many kids are encouraged to start with lower case letters, since the bulk of the letters they'll see in reading are lower case. Some people prefer to teach upper and lower case together -- if that's what you want, this is not an ideal book for you.The first 37 out of the book's 96 pages are less about writing the letters, and more about letter related activities -- "color the boxes/shapes with the letter s" or "draw a line from the ladder to the letter l" -- unless your child is already reading, you'll likely need to help them by reading the instructions.The remainder of the book focuses on writing lower case letters, and making some basic strokes (e.g. diagonal lines). It does not go in alphabetical order -- it starts with the simpler straight line letters -- like l, I, j -- then moves to the more basic round letters like o and a, then up from there. The pages include green dots and arrows to indicate starting locations and stroke directions. Once you've explained those basics to your child, he/she will likely be able to work through many of these pages with little to no help. Later on, some direction-reading may be necessary in the "Writing Review" sections, where directions include things like "Say the name of each picture. Write the lowercase letter that names its beginning sound."Each page has a space for the child's name at the top -- good practice for years of homework to come.If your children are likely to need more repetition than each page provides (like mine will!
