YOU CAN&#8217;T DEPEND ON SCHOOLS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO READ AND SPELL
Most schools do an excellent job of teaching children to read. But so many other schools do not. Even in schools that do an overall good job, some student’s fall through the cracks and don&#8217;t learn to read &#38; spell before third grade. The result is a child struggling to catch up for years to come.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR CHILD CAN&#8217;T READ AND SPELL?
Reading &#38; spelling failure erodes the child&#8217;s self-confidence, makes reading &#38; spelling a puzzling or terrifying experience. Both the short and long-term effects can be devastating. The child now avoids the humiliating experience of trying to read or spell as it gives them repeated evidence of being a failure.

<p><strong>YOU CAN&#8217;T DEPEND ON SCHOOLS TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO READ AND SPELL</strong><br />
Most schools do an excellent job of teaching children to read. But so many other schools do not. Even in schools that do an overall good job, some student’s fall through the cracks and don&#8217;t learn to read &amp; spell before third grade. The result is a child struggling to catch up for years to come.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR CHILD CAN&#8217;T READ AND SPELL?</strong><br />
Reading &amp; spelling failure erodes the child&#8217;s self-confidence, makes reading &amp; spelling a puzzling or terrifying experience. Both the short and long-term effects can be devastating. The child now avoids the humiliating experience of trying to read or spell as it gives them repeated evidence of being a failure.</p>
<p>Like many of others, your child may have come out of first grade believing that reading &amp; spelling is nothing more than learning the alphabet, looking at pictures and memorizing words. Maybe they think it is a guessing game based on the first letter of the word or the context in which the word occurs. It is proven that youngsters who fail to learn to read &amp; spell on schedule lack self-confidence because they have learned that they are failures. They dislike reading, spelling and school and often struggle to succeed in life.</p>
<p>The greatest single predictor of various antisocial behaviors, use of drugs, teen pregnancy, crime, and school failure is failure to learn how to read and spell. In 1998, the National Institute of Health and Human Development recognized not learning to read &amp; spell as not simply an educational problem but as a problem of health and welfare.</p>
<p>Success in learning to read &amp; spell is certainly not a cure-all for life and happiness, but it is imperative for school success. As a rule: no reading, no spelling, no bright academic future. The flip side of the reading and spelling coin is that children who know how to read and spell have many opportunities available to them that non-readers/speller and poor readers/spellers do not have.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT CAN CAUSE A CHILD TO FAIL IN READING AND SPELLING?</strong><br />
We shouldn&#8217;t be eager to blame the teachers. Often times it is the school districts that purchase <em>unproven, untested, reading &amp; spelling programs</em> that the teachers are forced to use. Many of these programs promote guessing and do not have any systematic approach to teaching. Children read &amp; spell from texts and stories that have predictable sentence patterns so the child who learned incorrectly did what the books call for. For example: When they figured out the first part of a sentence &#8220;The boys wanted to go swimming so they . . .,&#8221; the children knew that the last two words were &#8220;went swimming.&#8221; And when the children said these words, the teacher told them that they were &#8220;good readers &amp; spellers,&#8221; even though they were guessing. <em>The real crime behind a child who cannot read &amp; spell is the teaching that leads to this type of tragedy. </em></p>
<p><strong>WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ENSURE READING AND SPELLING SUCCESS IN YOUR CHILD?</strong><br />
You can avoid these problems by arming your child with proven reading &amp; spelling tools before going to school. Supplementing those skills with a good reading &amp; spelling program at home while your child is in their K-3 grade years will prove invaluable. This armor will guarantee that your child will excel, have confidence, like reading &amp; spelling and will not associate school with failure or humiliation.</p>
<p>Also, if you plan to home-school your child, this armor will start the schooling on a good note. Your child will succeed and associate schooling with FUN. Just as this success is great for your child, it will give you the confidence that you can teach the most difficult part of home-schooling&#8211;the beginning reading &amp; spelling skills. When your child has reading &amp; spelling skills, you have a lot of options of what to teach next.</p>

<p><strong>HOW WILL THESE BOOKS HELP YOU?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Convenient &#8211; Need to keep your child occupied for a while, just print out a few pages.</li>
<li>Basic concepts at your fingertips &#8211; Young children have short attention spans. These printables are a great way to have  quick and fun lessons on basic concepts.</li>
<li>Save money &#8211; 1 time purchase but you can print the pages as many times as you want. So in other words, you can reuse the workbooks over and over again. Unlike workbooks you buy at the store, once the child is done with it, you can&#8217;t use it anymore. Plus, you can use the worksheets for subsequent siblings.</li>
<li>Save time &#8211; The internet may have a lot of free worksheets to offer but you will need time to look for them.  With this 5 workbooks, everything is ready with just 1 click.  Plus, each website will usually only have a few worksheets to offer. It gets quite boring if your child has to use the same free worksheet over and over again. With Jumbo Workbooks, each book has 50 different variations on the same topic.</li>
<li>There are also printable certificates that you can print to award your child. Also cut-out pages that can be made into stickers to make learning more fun.</li>
</ul>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-23" href="http://valuebookshop.com/2009/preschool-printable-workbooks/jumboworkbookstickers/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23" title="Jumbo Workbook Stickers" src="http://valuebookshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/jumboworkbookstickers.jpg" alt="Jumbo Workbook Stickers" width="120" height="171" /></a></p>
<p><strong>DOWNSIDES TO CONSIDER</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Color printing can get a little expensive after a while. You can always print in black and white but it won&#8217;t be as attractive.</li>
<li>You have to make time to teach your child. Busy parents must put in the effort. Perfect if you are already doing a little homeschooling.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>HOW MUCH WILL IT COST YOU?</strong><br />
Individual workbooks = USD7.95<br />
Buy the whole set of 5 workbooks =<strong> USD24.95</strong> (If you want to break this down further, each page is about 10 cents. Remember you can print as many copies as you want. So if you print the same page 5 times, then it really cost you 2 cents for that page.)</p>
<p><strong>MY REVIEW</strong><br />
I really like the colorful pages and the variety of activities. It&#8217;s a great resource to have if you plan to do some teaching at home. Nowadays, parents feel that they have no time or patience to teach their children and leave that responsibility to the schools. So, if you foresee this resource getting lost and forgotten among the many other files you have on your computer, then don&#8217;t get it. But I feel that even though children are going to school, parents are still their children&#8217;s no.1 teacher. Sitting down with your child for just 15 minutes to teach a new concept or reinforce something they are already learning will have such a positive impact on your child. If you can make that commitment to play teacher to your young child each day, this Jumbo Workbook will make your task a little easier.</p>
