Lovely Exercise Book! - Kumon Reading 1 is a homework book that is suitable for children who are studying the KS1 curriculum to practise phonics and reading comprehensions. I found its no stress "step-by-step" slowly but firmly approach helps my sons, who doesn't like writing much, to improve his skills. The attractive illustrations, big letter font and colourful pages makes doing homework less painful. I found this a good introduction workbook. The book has 36 exercises. The first half of the book (exercise 1-26) covers short vowels, consonants combinations, long vowels and basic vocabulary. Then from Exercise 27 onwards, the book deals with introduction reading comprehensions. Each reading comprehensions is about 5-10 short sentances(less than 80 words). The answers required for the Reading comprehensions were in sequencing (which picture happened first 1-5), or True/ False, or "fill-in-the-blank" sentences style with key answers blank out, and the rest of sentences already printed. For example: Question: Is the character a boy or a girl? Answer: The character is a _____. (The child needs to write the actual answer: boy.) I feel that this makes learning process less stressful for beginners as it requires writing the key part of the answers only but yet they could gain ideas of how to answer questions properly in sentence format. My son certainly benefited from it. He likes working on Kumon Reading Workbook range much better than others. Review: Great for summer holidays after Reception. - I am going through KUMON books with my twin daughters who are by now in Year 1. I have bought this one while they were in Reception class and we did it during summer holidays. I found this book to be very useful for reminding children what they learned during their Reception year. Number of exercises (36) is just enough to cover most of the long summer break. Another reviewer already described the exercises (very good review indeed), so I am not going to repeat this here. Just a few points -- tasks require reading words, (later the whole sentences) and also writing some letters and words. -- the difficulty seems perfect for children who just finished Reception and more or less confident with their phonics. -- we did one page each day and by the end the progress was quite obvious -- they definitely moved from reading words to comprehending whole sentencing. Overall I would strongly recommend this book to everyone with Reception/Year 1 age children. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 322,508 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 1,881 in Beginner Readers for Children | | Book 1 of 6 | Kumon Reading Workbooks | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,149) | | Dimensions | 21.59 x 1.27 x 27.94 cm | | Grade level | 1 - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 193496851X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1934968512 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | 15 July 2012 | | Publisher | Kumon Publishing North America, Inc | ## Images ![Grade 1 Reading (Kumon) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QGOC3vFVL.jpg) ![Grade 1 Reading (Kumon) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91diHi6CpQL.jpg) ![Grade 1 Reading (Kumon) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZSBJZtX5L.jpg) ![Grade 1 Reading (Kumon) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41rVF7IkozL.jpg) ![Grade 1 Reading (Kumon) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41LXORqMFDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!
