Comments from our customers:
"Loves it! Wants to do it every day."
"I've been using the
Can You Find Me? with my 5 yr-old son
the past few weeks along with his learning-to-read program and he loves
these books! It's great to see his little mind working and how pleased he
is when he figures something out. I like that these products are more
challenging and thought-provoking than most workbooks geared for his grade
level."
"My
daughter absolutely loves the
Can You Find
Me? book. That is her favorite.
I like it because I can ask her questions
about how she arrived at the answer and
understand her thinking processes.
Also, that way I know if she is guessing or
really knows why that is right. I
never tell her if she gets an answer wrong,
I simply use that information to know what
subjects we should read about and talk about
in the rest of our preschool time. I
like that she is just not memorizing things
and really has to think logically to arrive
at the answer. It also helps me gauge
how much she is learning from other
curriculum. These are great for
teaching many of those abstract concepts
that aren't covered in more traditional
curriculum."
