Carson Dellosa Education Phonics for Kindergarten, Grade K: Gold Star Edition

全てに絵がついています。3－4文字単語です。繰り返し、同じ単語が出てくるので、思い返して覚えていけます。 日本人向けの英単語のワークだと、綴りと音の似たもの同士をグループ分けしていなくて、いきなり、日本語での仲間わけで覚えることになります。 文房具とか、教室にある物とか。それはそれでいいのですが、綴りを見て読めるようになってからそういったグループ分けで覚える方が楽です。 最近でこそ聞くようになりましたがbib（よだれかけ）など、中高大と英語を日本で学習しても接することのない単語もちらほら出てきます。しかし、綴りをみて、大体読めるようになるにはいい本です。 日本語表記がないワークは、絵から直接英語への回路ができるので、日本語に訳さず直感的に英単語が浮かぶのでいいと思います。初期学習者（脳・頭がやわらかい年齢）には、絵や状況をみて理解して、そこに英単語や英文がついているのが最適だと思います。 他の方が書かれているように、このワークにはCDがついていないので、教える人が発音して伝えないといけません。 最近のワークにはCDなど音源がついているものも多いので、それらで、音の違いはわかると思います。親が大体しか分からなくても、子どもの方が耳が良くてわかります。 こういった本でフォニックスを習得した後は、綴りがわからず書けないでいる時、横で発音してやると、綴れるようになります。 初見の文を大体読めるようになるのに、フォニックスは有効だと思います。

Really great book!! Excellent to start my daughter on her road to reading.

I bought this book for my 4 years old son, who is very interested in alphabet activities. In the daycare, they do a lot of similar exercises and at home he wants to practice some more. For that purpose, this is a really good book. It starts from A and goes through all letters of alphabet. For each letter there are 2 pages of activities: one requires the child to find all the objects that start with that letter among a group of objects and the other one finding the only object in a group of three that begins with that letter. After every 10 pages or so there is a general activity page where small pictures are accompanied with three letters and the kid is required to find the correct letter that the object in the picture starts with. These pages cover all the letters up to that point. The last pages, after all the letters are covered, are another group of activities which require finding the middle missing letter or recognizing the whole word among similar ones. This require more skill than the first set of activities and therefore a kindergarten student would do it better. The pictures are repeated a few times for different activities and this ensures the child to build some new vocabulary. For example my son did not know the word 'can' as in canned food and after I told him and he came across a few more times he was easily noticing it. The pictures are mostly clear and easy to recognize. There are some ambiguities but those are really limited. Finally the book offers 140 stickers and a completion chart. The idea is that for each activity a sticker needs to be put on the corresponding page number on that chart. Good luck if you manage to get them used that way. My son had already sticked half the stickers randomly by the time I first handled the book, kids just don't stop when they handle stickers :) In conclusion, this is a really useful basic practice book. Perhaps it might have offered a wider range of activities but there is no harm being plain and simple as well. I liked the book and my son spends a good amount of time with it. For less than $4 it is a real bargain

My 4 year old is halfway through this book. It's great practice and fun . Totally recommend
