This isn’t just a kindergarten math workbook, but also an early reading workbook that teaches with sight words kindergarten kids can easily follow. Kids can also build skills in the alphabet, numbers 0 to 20, reading readiness, writing, sequencing, story order, following directions, contrasting, classifying, grouping, relating words and pictures, and play a fun an informative matching game! Easy directions and visual clues promote self-directed learning and eye hand coordination. Your child can either work in the workbook itself or the perforated pages make it easy for kids to tear out for individual worksheets, and since the skill being practiced is listed at the bottom of each page, you can easily keep track of what you’re learned!

WORKBOOKS FOR KIDS - Using kids workbooks is a great way to improve learning. Writing by hand, as opposed to typing on a computer, fires up specific areas of a child's brain, improving their ability to not only remember what he or she learns but to think of new ideas. Completing physical pages also give a sense of accomplishment that’s hard to get from a digital product. This is a workbook kids are sure to enjoy! When kids finish the workbook, you can fill out the included “Great Job! You’re #1” completion certificate to reward a job well done.

RESULTS - Our learning materials have helped educate three generations of kids, creating lifelong learners, and the legacy continues. Digital content, kids flash cards, language and math workbooks, readers, toys, and learning card games are all crafted through a child’s eyes while integrating parent and teacher standards.

PREPARATION - Let us help you prepare your young children for the next grade level with our workbooks, flashcards, learning card games for kids, books and a Little Scholar Tablet. Keep kids "classroom ready" with these great supplemental learning tools and more!

AWARD WINNING - School Zone content has won The Parents’ Choice Foundation Award, Tillywig Toy Awards, Brainchild Award, Family Choice Award, Mom's Choice Awards Honoring Excellence, Gold Star Toy Scholastic Parent and Child Award and many more.

OUR STORY - Almost 40 years ago, long-time educators James Hoffman, Ed.D., and his wife Joan Hoffman, M.A., began a retail supply outlet for teachers, then soon identified a need for at-home learning materials to help parents support and supplement their children’s classroom instruction. School Zone Publishing fast emerged as the market leader in workbooks and flashcards for preschoolers through sixth graders.

School Zone remains family-owned, focused on excellence, responsive to customers, alert to emerging technology, and committed to the community. We continually update our products with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices.

About this title

About the Author

Parents appreciate the quality and attention to detail. The company continually updates materials with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices. The result? Great learning at home and in the classroom.

Joan Hoffman, M.A., is the author and co-author of hundreds popular storybooks and workbooks for children. Among the titles are Peter’s Dream, I Don’t Like Peas, and The New Bike (the latter two published under the pen name Marie Vinje), the Get Ready for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade workbook trio, along with the entire Get Ready, Little Thinker, I Know It!, Try-n-Spy, and Little Busy Book workbook series.

She is also co-founder, along with her late husband James Hoffman, Ph.D., of School Zone Publishing. Visionary in business, she has long looked at the world through a child’s eyes, infusing her stories and lessons with joy and relatability.

 As a mother of 4 back in the ‘70s, like moms the world over throughout history, she wanted what was best for her children. And she knew that teachers didn’t have the time to give her kids everything they needed. As an elementary school teacher, Hoffman worked hard to give her students what they needed to learn. And parents would ask her what they could do to help. That’s why she started School Zone—to help give children every possible chance to reach their potential. 

She brought retail experience gleaned from previously founding and managing two regional educational book and supply stores for teachers and parents. Her husband lent his blended talents of educator and entrepreneur. A professor of education who also had first-hand experience as an elementary teacher, he was involved in teacher education programs at several colleges and had served at the helm of a company that published classroom materials.

Combining rock-solid editorial judgment and creative instincts with a thorough understanding of early education, Joan Hoffman was an exemplary proponent of design thinking long before it became a conceptual label. An innovative problem-solver, she has always sought to reach out to end users and challenge convention. Separating fleeting trends from legitimate advances has been essential to her company’s longevity.

The results speak for themselves. With the next generation—both son Jonathan and daughter Jennifer—taking on creative and strategic leadership roles in the company their parents started, School Zone seamlessly integrated digital learning platforms. The company received Apple’s exclusive Human Interface Design Excellence Award for software development, and its apps were part of the first-generation iPad launch in 2010. School Zone’s flagship product, the Little Scholar Learning Tablet, has earned industry-wide recognition and awards, as has its online learning destination Anywhere Teacher. Inspired by mom’s story-telling excellence, son Jonathan continued that legacy with Charlie & Company, an original series for ages 3-7, available on Oznnoz, Kidoodle.tv, ToonGoggles, BatteryPop, Ameba, and Highbrow.

Joan Hoffman says, “It is incredibly rewarding to see the children and grandchildren of some of our original customers enjoying our ever-evolving books, apps, flash cards, games, music, and other products—both print and digital.” 

In 2019 School Zone celebrates its 40th anniversary, spanning portions of five decades and having sold more than 370 million educational products. Hoffman continues to be hands-on in the company, still writing, still envisioning, and still putting kids, parents, and teachers first.

Review

Review 1:

We've been using the BIG workbooks for our son since he was 3. At first we simply got him the Pre-K workbook, and he went through that. We started homeschooling him at 4, and bought one of the textbooks in math that the local public schools uses and created all the other curriculum by hand. This book has been WONDERFUL for adding extra practice to everything we've been working on for "Kindergarten". It's colorful and about half way through the Kindergarten workbook my son had learned how to read the directions so he was able to use it as an independent workbook. This allowed him to practice his letters, numbers, etc for "fun" anytime he felt the urge. I would definitely recommend this to other homeschooling parents or traditional schooling parents who notice that there kids need a little extra help and practice.

Review 2:

My son was having a hard time in preschool. So I ordered him the 320 page Kindergarten workbook. He loved it! He is now going into first grade and is in the top 5 of his class! I couldn't be more proud of him. And it's all thanks to the Kindergarten workbook

Review 3:

I bought this book for my son who will be going to kindergarten in the fall to help him prepare for the school year. The book is colorful and it keeps his attention and focus on the work (we do 4 worksheets a day) he doesn't mind doing the work because it feels fun for him with so many beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this book.
