one_two_three: I have been giving KUMON books to my twin daughters since they were 4 years old. The KUMON method has is strengths and weaknesses (as everything in life, I presume). It may be quite repetitive and, therefore, boring but, on the other hand, usually it takes ~15-20 minutes to complete the task for the day and you really shouldn't rush it and try more than a single assignment per day.

If you started early (as we did) then "doing KUMON" becomes just a part of daily routine and it will really help your children to improve their skills in writing or in simple computational math. I bought all the KUMON books for my daughters' grade and 'feed' them one-by-one. It is much, much cheaper than signing them up for KUMON (I think 60-70 pounds per subject per child) but requires investment of your time and patience.

Overall, I recommend this book, but I really suggest to parents of all young children to start as early as possible.

jasonjason: I bought this book for my son as he chooses homeschooling this year. The exercises have examples, and they are not too hard. Also it has provided answers keys.

Sachin Jain: Kumon products are majority of the times good. So no exception this time around. To qoute, direct and indirect speech is first introduced as fill in the blanks. That way its easy to follow and understand. One thing, the price is not consistent. I bought for 750 and at the time of review it's 550

VeeVee: My daughter needed to work on her writing skills and comprehension of text

Well I hit the jackpot with this book. It has been helping her form proper sentences and use her imagination.

The price was right and there are lots of different activities and exercises.

I'm extremely satisfied with this workbook and I will try to find other books from the same company.

jsw: Great book to work on writing. My daughter is learning about independent and dependent clauses and how to write essays which helps her with everyday writing. She's become more interested in writing using kumon books whereas before she could care less for writing.

Sleepless DreamerSleepless Dreamer: When I ordered this book I thought it was more like just writing essays, but in my opinion it's more like a mix language/writing book. Great little pictures for that age group. And it starts slowly until the writing takes more body. I am very happy I bought this book for my 5th grader homeschooler, also it helps on his handwriting because it has dotted places where he has to trace. It has 71 pages of exercises.

Giddy Giddy: Ok, so I must say that I ordered one too many of this book, but after glancing through its content, I decided to keep both copies for each of my kids (4th and 5th grades). I can't wait to see their reactions to this curriculum, but if they are like me (when I was their ages), they will love it. I will give a thorough review once I have hands-on experience.

VictoriaG: I started my son on this workbook and it is pretty good for helping him with the details that kept plaguing his writing. It was such a bummer to see red all over his paper over capitals, commas, and such. It handles grammar well. He is in fourth grade and able to figure out the directions and complete the work pretty much on his own. I haven't gotten to the end where they work on paragraphs, but so far, so good.
