How it works:

Preschool Workbook is designed for the preschool through pre-kindergarten child. 

Sections are divided into major topics for all levels of learners. Each section provides opportunities for young learners to gain basic skills. Sections may be completed in any order. In fact, moving around the workbook will keep your child interested and engaged. Each child is unique! One child may excel in one section, but have a harder time with another section. This is developmentally appropriate. It’s important that your child have fun learning and enjoy the experience of working on the activities with you.

 

Other features：

• Print-rich pages reinforce words and reading whenever possible. Items are labeled so your child can see the word with the object.

• Arts and movement are integrated into the workbook. This makes activities more interesting while teaching essential gross and fine motor skills.

• In writing and cutting exercises, we’ve included helpful features to promote success. You’ll notice starting cues and heavier cutting lines.

• A tip can be found at the bottom of many pages. This feature gives you ideas for extending the activity or assisting your child.

• This is an introductory book. If you'd like to practice specific skills, like writing, check out other products in Meads Early Learning line. You can view these items at mead.com.
