This wonderful book of age appropriate early reading activities impressed reviewers who were delighted to see how much their children wanted to practice, learn and use this book over and over. Whether it is tracing words, connecting lines or sounding out words, the early learning blocks towards reading are established here. What parents felt really set this book apart was the fact that all the pages are reusable when you use washable markers. This makes it perfect for using with multiple children. TREND uses paper that is more durable than other workbooks which means they don’t get worn, tattered or wrinkled easily. Each page feels more like a coloring activity than a workbook which might be one of the reason that kids were so enthusiastic and eager to return to it over and over.
