My twins start kindergarten in just a few weeks. I simply can't believe I am nearly a mom to school aged children. The years go by so quickly. Expect me to be a puddle of emotions on that first day! One thing I am confident about as far as school goes, is that A&W are ready. Really ready. They love to learn, are curious about the world and are like little sponges for information. In preparation for kindergarten we have been using some wonderful tools from FlashKids. Have you heard about Flashkids? They have flash cards and workbooks created by educators and parents FOR educators and parents. They cover every aspect of your child's education with fun and engaging pictures and clear, easy to follow directions. FlashKids covers takes your child from learning colors to complicated long division with ease!
Because we are entering kindergarten in the fall, we were lucky enough to review three items from the FlashKids collection focusing on kindergarten learning. The first
Sight Worlds Flash Cards have become a game in our home....
There are 86 cards containing over 150 sight words (words frequently encountered which cannot be easily sounded out) and you can't beat the $3.95 price tag. We make learning extra fun by seeing how many the boys can name in a set amount of time.
We also received
The Complete Book of Sight Words and this book has been super for worksheets. My son, "W", really enjoys doing worksheets and seems to learn best this way. Here are the details from the FlashKids website....
Learning to recognize common words that don't follow regular spelling rules--and can't be “sounded out”--is an important step to becoming a strong reader. The engaging activities in this workbook teach 220 of these essential words in a structured format that encourages independent work. Fun games and puzzles keep children's interest level high, unit tests review and reinforce new vocabulary.
This book is HUGE and covers a lot of ground. I love that, while the focus is obviously on learning, the creators have taken care to ensure that the road to learning is paved with fun. Word finds and linking letter exercises are a favorite of the boys and they really enjoy this book. The illustrations are also vivid and engaging further adding to the appeal.
Lastly, the boys and I were able to review
Alphabet Puzzles and Games. This 60+ page workbook is super. It is filled with great learning worksheets that are fun with easy to follow directions. There are pages which ask your child to follow a specific letter on a path, color specific letters to create a picture, circle items which begin with a certain letter and so much more. At the end of the book there are fun stickers and a certificate of completion. This book was a huge hit with both A&W.
I think learning should be a fun adventure for children and I think Flashkids has done an excellent job combining important skills with fun and engaging games. I know we all want the children in our lives to be successful and happy in their school lives and FlashKids has created tools to help us guide our children on their path. I am a huge fan of FlashKids and will certainly be adding on to our own FlashKids collection as the years progress. To view the entire FlashKids product list for all skill and grade levels click
