Book Review of What Your First Grader Needs to Know (The Core Knowledge Series)

What Your First Grader Needs to Know (The Core Knowledge Series)
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


An excellent supplement for homeschooling. Sections are: Reading, Writing, and Your Kindergartner; Literature; Familiar and Favorite Poems; Aesop's Fables; World History and Geography; American History and Geography; Visual Arts; Do You Like Music?; Favorite Songs; Patterns and Classifications; Numbers and Number Sense; Money; Computation; Measurement; Geometry; Plants and Plant Growth; Seasons and Weather; Animals and Their Needs; The Human Body; Taking Care of the Earth; An Invisible Force: Magnetism; Stories about Scientists. I have extensively used everything but the section on Math at this point, and I particularly enjoy the Literature and Fables in the book. Great read alouds, but not very many pictures.
