I think this book is okay for teaching and reviewing phonics with students. I wouldn't say that it is for K though because there is a lot of reading that goes along with the activities. I understand that you have to teach your students to use it and model the activities for them but they are kind of complicated and very wordy. I also wish the format was different, if you are purchasing this book chances are you are a teacher and your intention is to make copies of what you need for your classroom and students. Having to copy from a regular book takes extra time and just is a hassle. I ended up ripping out the pages to make copies for my students and then just paper clipping it to the cover. The pages also aren't perforated. I've really wanted to use this with my SPED resource room students and I have given it for homework for the last 2 week (1 packet per week) but I am not sure if I will continue to use it. It's just very wordy and the pages are busy. It's definitely way too hard for kindergarten students... after weeks 4 or so. To be completely honest I am still in search for the perfect phonics resource.
Parts of this book were great reinforcement for my homeschooled 2nd grader. Since scholastic allows teachers to copy their workbooks I opted to make copies for him so that we can continue to use the book for my younger children for reinforcement for the concepts they are learning. I have several scholastic workbooks from pre-K to 3rd grade and have never been disappointed with any of them!
Love it!! It is really helpful for my lower students.
Not as expected; the page set-up is not conducive to use in an ELL/ESL kinder classroom. There are better ones out there for less $$!
