School Zone Big First Grade Workbook

I purchased this workbook for my 5 year old preparing for his Year 1 curriculum over the summer holiday. My son loved School Zone books and this one was a success. The full colour page layout makes it looks like an activity book rather than a workbook, but this is exactly what it is intended - to make learning fun. It has over 300 pages of colorful Maths and English exercises made this the perfect workbook for hot summer afternoons. My little one worked on a few pages a day in his own pace. It is an American book, but it worked well. The section dealing with money was in American Dollors, we didn't use those pages. All in all, I am happy with it.

my son loves anwering this book. really colourful and interactive book.

U.K. based review. Purchased this for 5 year old going from Reception into Year 1. Highly recommended. (This is written in the context of Lockdown and “quaranteaching” at home in 2020.) This is a fun engaging colourful, well thought out, activity book with over 302 pages of worksheets. I would suggest buying the age group that they are going into, rather than the one they are in. The tops of the pages are colour coded into different sections. Each page has cheerful diagrams of characters. It starts with phonics going over short and long vowels; word searches and crosswords; easy puzzles such as matching opposite words. It introduces contractions, nouns, verbs and adjectives, comprehension, compass points etc. Clues to crack a code etc. I like how it shows patterns in maths, and number families. It goes through number bonds up to 20. Looks at the 100 square; going through one number before and after; greater than less than; tens and units; reading the time; introduction to fractions; and many more! There are even activities to help differentiate between reality and fantasy; learning about the context of things etc. Some worksheets are quick and easy like circling the answer and the others are more challenging. However they all appear achievable to the child, and there is variation in the activities. There is lined paper for the children to fill in the answers, but there is no focus on handwriting. Likewise the money section uses American coins. We got around this by placing real local coins on top of the pictures, and doing the problems accordingly. I would recommend to the authors/publishers to have a U.K. edition for this section, and to change some spellings into U.K. English . E.g. favorite to favourite. But please do not stop international buyers being put off, as this book has so much to offer. My child who does Not have a good concentration has set himself a target of doing at least 10 pages a day, which only reflects of how engaging this book is. It has really been helpful adjunct during Lockdown 2020 and schools shutting down.

This book is full of all sorts of activities to do. My grand daughter will love it.

Muy bueno el libro. Perfecto para edades de 4-7 años y en inglés. Bueno para la casa o en el colegio.

The School Zone Big First Grade Workbook is an amazing resource for helping kids strengthen their foundational skills and stay ahead in school. I got this for my nephew after he finished kindergarten, and it’s been the perfect next step. The book covers a wide range of topics, reading comprehension, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, basic math, time, money, and even simple fractions, all presented in a fun and engaging way. The activities are colorful and well-organized, keeping him interested and motivated to keep learning. I love that it mixes challenge with encouragement, nothing feels too hard, but each page builds confidence and reinforces what he’s learning in class. The paper quality and illustrations are great, and it’s thick enough to last through months of use. It’s also a wonderful tool for summer learning or after-school practice, helping kids stay sharp without feeling pressured. ✅ Helpful tip: Do a few pages at a time and celebrate progress, it keeps kids excited and proud of their accomplishments! Overall, this is a high-quality, educational, and affordable workbook that truly supports early learning success. Highly recommend for any first grader!

Buenisimo relación precio-calidad y buenos ejercicios.
