Good resource, but not perfect
By Jane James "homeschoolmum" - May 31, 2000I have 6 children, and we are homeschoolers, so I am always looking for good resource materials.This series is good in a lot of ways. It stresses the old classics, more from a cultural literacy standpoint than anything else. You want your children to understand references to literature. You want your children to know what others are talking about when they refer to a mythological figure.These books not only provide the parent with a few basic stories, but they also put it in the mind of the parent that these things are important for the child to come into contact with. The social studies are nice and simple, with little maps and nice little pictures. For my children, I develop checksheets to go along with them -- they read a section in the book, then they draw a picture relating to it, or look at a globe and point out the place under discussion, or create an animal from that part of the world in clay -- something involving DOINGness, instead of just READING... read more
Very Basic
By apoem "apoem" - March 18, 2002I think this is a fine book. I bought it expecting a list of things that my child should know prior to entering Kindergarten. Instead what I got was a book that I could use to teach my child. Excellent! I think it would be better with a comprehensive list of expectations and/or goals that every child should reach by the time they are through with Kindergarten. That is the teacher in my coming out. I found that the social studies section was amazing. I didn't realize that kindergarten children could comprehend so much. Word of Warning: This is ONLY the very basics that a child should be able to learn. This is NOT the be all end all of a kindergarten curriculum to use for homeschooling. However, it can be used as a place to jump start your learning. You will need to add more literature and poetry and math activities. However, it's a well rounded, full of information, useful book.
Get them off to a Great Start!
By A. L. Hermitt "ahermitt" - May 6, 2004The Book "What Your Kindergartener Need To Know is a great book to use to get your child started in learning. Even if you didn't get your hands on it before Kindergarten it is a good review and will help you to see if you child has suffered any "gaps" in their knowledge to date. Since different states and school systems have different opinions as to what a child should know at what age, this book may not necessarily cover what your child has or is about to learn in your local school. From my analysis, the book covers more information from a cultural awareness perspective. This means that is basically is filled with things your child should have been exposed to by this point. They may not KNOW these things or be able to recite everything from this book, but they should have some awareness or have had some exposure to it at this point. When my children and I received this book, our first Core Knowledge book by Hirsh, we went through the books table of contents page with a pencil... read more
