This is our second month using the Mother Goose Time More Math and More Literacy workbooks. I have really noticed a change in my 4 year old son since using these workbooks. He will be 5 in just a few more months and I thought that it might benefit him to have a little more in the way of practice pages and reinforcement so when I was given the opportunity to try these out I jumped on it. He was really excited to have his own workbook and I noticed that he started to try a little harder to do his work. I focused on the More Math workbook this month because I already know he needs work on his letters and letter sounds.
I was curious about his math skills. He is stronger in his math skills right now and I wanted to find out what areas needed more reinforcement and what areas are pretty much mastered. The pages in the workbook go along with the months theme and have great pictures. They are fun and inviting and he feels like he is doing big boy work, which he is so its win win! We just finished the month so I went through the book and noticed that he has his shapes and colors down, as well as positional words. Here are some examples of pages that work on shapes, colors and positional words.
He does need to practice more complicated patterns and counting a little more though. In the picture below you can see that when he counts he uses his pencil to draw a line to each item. This tends to make him go to fast and he skips numbers and gets confused.
While he has made a lot of progress I know that we still need to practice number recognition, counting and writing. This will be a benefit to me this month because I can focus on those pages this month and then use the other pages for days when he doesn't seem as focused or if we just want something fun to do.
