This is a perfect book for 2nd & 3rd graders.  As a mother of ten, I have found it to be gentle and delightful in its content and format, but a challenge for my children.  The expectations for amount of copywork and dictation, as well as memorization of poetry is quite high, but not inappropriate.  My children find a great sense of accomplishment when finishing these lessons.  I am pleased with the variable content which includes the aforementioned disciplines as well as picture and literary narration, grammar, beginning composition, and word usage. The choices for art and poetry are especially nostalgic and beautiful.  It was a wonderful surprise to find so much inside one little book.

I tried teaching my 7 year old son to read using several different methods over a two year period. A lot of it stuck but none of it actually got him to read. This program is graded, in other words, it starts easy and the difficult increases from there, it is simple to receive a lesson and give one. It has been an absolute pleasure for both my son and I to do. We are 61 lessons into it now and he actually demands I give him two lessons per day including on the weekends. He is now reading independently and has plans to get his skills up to the point where he can read some stories he has his eye on. I can not recommend this course highly enough. I taught my son to read, in a short time, in a way both of us enjoy. Very highly recommended for anyone helping your kids to learn how to read.

It works. Just don't buy this expecting your 2.5 year old to impress everyone with their super advanced reading skills. I bought it for my very bright daughter (with an exceptional attention span) when she was just shy of 4.5. The first few lessons were smooth sailing. 15 lessons or so in and she was struggling and lost interest. At first I was disappointed thinking the book didn't hold up to the hype. We took a break and I bought her Reading Eggs on the iPad. She did lessons often and the thrill of getting to use the iPad held her attention. After 6 months or so a little after she turned 5, I decided to give the book another try. What a difference it made. We haven't sailed through the lessons. Some days we just read other beginner books. Some days we repeat a previous lesson that she struggled with. It's taken about 8 months to complete the book, but I can tell you it works. She just started kindergarten and is reading well beyond her peers and looks forward to reading every day. Sometimes they are ready at a younger age to grasp it and sometimes they aren't quite there yet and with a little time and age you will be pleasantly surprised how much smoother it goes. I recommend this book to all my fellow prek/kinder parents.

This is a great puzzle, I think it provides quite a few learning opportunities beyond what most puzzles do.
My two and a half year old daughter took to it right out of the box. It is a twelve piece puzzle, which I would say is quite a bit for a two year old, put the way each season in the puzzle separates into a 3 piece puzzle of its own, makes this a great introduction to more complex puzzles for her, since you can gradually increase the level of difficulty by mixing the pieces of one, two, three and four seasons together, I see her being interested in this toy for quite a while. The puzzle flips over to a stencil on the back, this is both a self correcting feature, but also invites your child to get out a crayon and paper and increase their penmanship by tracing which I think is great and my daughter enjoys this part. I paired the puzzle with a book about the seasons and I think the two have been good conversation starters about the weather and what to wear. It also encourages her to use her observational skills about our daily weather.
The overall quality of the puzzle is great, the pieces have a nice weight to them and they easily fits together, no super tricky parts to line up. It is also very sturdy, I see her little sister inheriting this one.

I have given these lessons to 2 different leaders to teach children's church with, both last minute, over the last 2 weeks and they said the lessons were perfect and fit our half an hour time slot well. I get to use it this week and am looking forward to it, I hate coming up with crafts and this book is just too easy to use as I focus on the other 2-3 lessons I need for this week.

2 YO grandson requests this every time he visits. He loves it, and I liked it because it teaches good values and easy to understand concepts. And one learns a lot about trains.

I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old. While they are not close enough in age to really play this game together the right way, it is a great way for the 2 year old to learn to count and learn his colors. He still has a ways to go, but we are learning to group the monkeys by color and count how many we are putting on.

This is a wonderfully empowering book for young children. I spent many years teaching preschool, and this was always a favorite. This is also a standard present for any 2- or 3-year-old I know. Last month, I purchased this for my friend's 2-year-old, and she asked if it was scary. I explained about how it empowers children to overcome and take control of their own fears by telling the Big Green Monster to "GO AWAY!" I read it to her son, and he kept asking for it again. Then, he started "reading" it out loud and following each page by himself. The only problem is that, prior to this book, he had been telling people to "Go away," (i.e., "Go away, Daddy!") and they were working with him to stop doing that. We used this as a teaching tool, telling him that he could tell monsters to go away but that he couldn't tell Mommy and Daddy to go away. Of course, though, that's not a fault of the book :-)

I have taught lessons since 1999, having used many method books, I swear by Faber.  This is a new product, specifically for non-reading young children.  My daughter is four and she's my trial subject.  She LOVES this book.  It has great simple songs on the CD to keep things fun and duets for both of us to play together.  One of the biggest challenges teaching a young age is that they don't have the retention or discipline to practice at home so each weekly lesson becomes the same review.  Using the CD, non-playing parents can easily support their learning child which is very helpful.

Recently my goal has been to successfully teach my kids to be smarter about money than I have been in life and I have to say that this little budgeting workbook for kids if a great tool to make that happen. What I like about it is that it helps to teach kids about money, budgeting and saving in an effective way, but it allows kids to have fun while they learn as well. It's proven to be successful in instilling a sense of value in money and understanding the need to be smart about their spending habits early on, so that hopefully when they are older and on their own they won't make the same mistakes I did.

Lastly, the quiz and glossary of terms provided along with the workbook added just another layer of effective budgeting education that helped me to be able to know that they are actually learning about everything from balancing checkbooks to understanding savings accounts... instead of it all just going in one ear and out the other. This was a great choice for teaching my kids about money management skills as it made it easier for me to educate them in a fun, but effective way.

I gifted this to to my 2 year old niece and she loved it. She is already learning to identify and name animals like cows, chickens and goats but this set of actual plastic models accompanied by sounds that are more realistic than what her parents can make are making it very easy for her to remember. In addition the farmer figure is enabling us to teach her facts about farms and an appreciation of the hard work that's necessary for a farmer to tend to his cows and chickens. Also, the movable sun gives her an idea of how early work on a farm begins and how long it takes. It helps that the toy is large and colorful so she hasn't tired of it yet (at least not in two weeks). I would enthusiastically recommend it to kids aged 2-4, not just to help them identify common animals and their sounds but to tell them stories about farms and the work necessary to sustain them.

I purchased this game for my 2 year old son so I could teach him the parts of the face using a fun game. It worked great! He has a lot of fun putting the faces together. We don't really play the game, just play with the pieces to make different faces. The pieces don't stick really well, but for anyone other than a 2-year old I'm sure this isn't a problem.

The two year old (almost two) really enjoyed this toy. So easy to operate, and long operation.
