Product Description
Echoing Brain Quest's lively design and unique silhouette, each workbook is a bright, kid-friendly invitation to delve into schoolwork with pleasure. The books are jam-packed with hundreds of curriculum-based activities, exercises, games, and challenges in every subject, but with a special emphasis on the core competencies of math and language skills. They're clear, they're interactive, colorful, and varied. Information is layered throughout the text. Kids will write, draw, solve, connect, add hands to the clocks' faces, and color in the fractional shapes. Six titles comprise the series, Pre-k through Grade 4; each is a substantial 320-page, full-color book. In addition, each title comes with a pull-out poster, more than 200 stickers, and 100 all-new Brain Quest questions and answers. Even the posters are keyed into the curriculum?in second grade, children study the U.S. states, so the Grade 2 poster will be of the U.S.A., with all capitals, state flags, and state facts.

Big Fun for Your Little One November 21, 2008
The BrainQuest PreK Workbook is jam-packed with colorful, educational fun for your preschooler. The workbook has over 300 pages of full-color activities, a pull-out alphabet poster for your wall and two full pages of reward stickers. br /br /The workbook activities are grouped topically by ABCs, 123s, Phonics, Vocabulary, Shapes and Colors, Sorting and Matching, My World, Science, Fun and Games and Extras. br /br /ABC activities include writing the uppercase and lowercase letters, matching uppercase and lowercase letters, and an alphabet song game. br /br /123s activities include counting exercises, writing the numbers, and number identification. br /br /Phonics activities include handwriting practice, cirling pictures that begin with a certain letter sound and matching exercises.br /br /The Vocabulary section teaches words like big/small, open/closed and stop/go. br /br /The Shapes and Colors section has fun activities like coloring a rainbow. The rainbow exercise was my daughter's favorite in this section! br /br /The Sorting and Matching section asks your child to pick out items that are the same or items that are different. It also asks the child to identify where things belong (for example, does a book belong in a bookcase or does a banana belong in a bookcase). br /br /The My World section asks your child to think about their home environment. Draw a picture of your favorite thing to do at home. What things belong on the kitchen table?br /br /The Science section is perfectly tailored to the preschool age group. They ask the children to identify where certain animals live. They ask the children to circle things that are living vs things that are not living. It introduces concepts like habitat. br /br /The Fun and Games section was my daugher's immediate favorite. There were easy mazes and pages for coloring. br /br /A terrific workbook for home use. It is a great resource to reinforce the concepts that your child is learning in preschool in a fun, easy to use way. br /

Fun Learning for PreK Kids At Their Own Pace November 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Whether a child is in preschool or staying at home in preparation for kindergarten, Brain Quest's PreK workbook will prove a valuable and fun tool. The book starts helping kids learn both colors and letters together (by instructing them to color letters a certain color), it moves onto covering simple numbers, some basic phonics and very simple reading basics, shapes, and some basic science. I would expect that most kids would have a difficult time with some of the exercises. Even the most intelligent will be midly pushed and some late bloomers may be overwhelmed, but under the oversight of a patient teacher or parent, a child will emerge with improved critical thinking skills, knowledge of alphabets, colors, and shapes, and maybe even be able to read some very basic basic words using phonetic concepts.
 Great book with lots of activities November 20, 2008

I am an aunt whose four-year-old niece is coming to see her for Christmas. I wanted something for her to do, so I ordered this book. There are a variety of different types of activities in it, enough that any child should be able to find something that interests them. Plus, there are stickers at the back of the book. She will enjoy those, unless her younger brother takes off with them. The sections in this book are:br /br / 123sbr / Phonicsbr / Vocabularybr / Shapes and Colorsbr / Sorting and Matchingbr / MY Worldbr / Sciencebr / Fun and Games
Great Book November 20, 2008
The Brain Quest series are great. My kids have enjoyed the smaller "deck" books and their workbooks. This one is perfect for the advanced preschooler through grade one child. Some of the exercises will be perfect for your kindergartner, but others will work for the younger or older child. br /br /I like the set up of the book. And, I do agree that it's best use is to reinforce what your child is learning at preschool. I wouldn't suggest this for homeschooling based on some homeschooling materials I've reviewed. Nonetheless, I do think that the Brain Quest workbook is the best on the market. br /br /One of the best thing about the book: the exercises. It's obvious that lots of time and research went into the design of the workbooks!
