Get Set for School™ is a "crayon only" workbook for four- to six-year-olds at a Pre-K level. It uses a developmental sequence for shapes, pre-strokes, letters and numbers.

The workbook begins with coloring pages to develop color and shape recognition. The teacher uses these pages while helping children learn to hold the crayon correctly. The large, bold illustrations are easy to color and so appealing that they encourage questions and conversation.

cant recommend. i dont believe there is developmental stages for writing except to say they are pushing kids to do it too soon and too hard. this teaches many incorrect ways to draw letters, incorrect and inefficient. the kids will have to unlearn it. i say work my slowly on the curves but do letters the correct and efficient way

My four year old loved this book! And so did my 2 year old, so we ended up getting one for her and she actually traces the letters herself! This is an excellent workbook for learning to write the alphabet!

I used this for my 5-year-old daughter, before doing the K level with her. She loved this book, and I feel it really turned her handwriting around! She's now using K and her handwriting gets a lot of positive comments from friends and family (she makes a lot of cards for others!). I recommend this and the manipulatives that go with it (slate, wooden pieces, etc).

My 4-year-old daughter loved this book. It provided a gentle, fun transition from coloring to writing.

This handwriting curriclum is the best on the market! I have seen it utilized in the hospital setting with post brain injury patients who are learning to write again. The book is child/parent friendly with fun activities to engage your child in handwriting. I highly recommend using the "Get Set for School" cd along with this worktext.
