My favorite starter workbook for my Preschooler’s has been School Sparks. You can purchase it from Amazon (free shipping with Amazon Prime), and it’s HUGE. Yes, it’s expensive ($28), but it covers every area of learning in one workbook. The sheets tear out (nice for copying). It has the following sections in it:
- Fine Motor Development
- Tracing, cutting
- Visual Discrimination
- Learning colors, shapes, letters, same/different
- Math & Number Awareness
- Skip counting, sorting, classifying, patterning, etc.
- Auditory Processing
- As in following directions
- Reading Skills
- Including sight words
If the price tag of $28 for a workbook doesn’t sit well with you (but seriously, this thing is like War & Peace thick), they have a blog & you can print EVERY.SINGLE.WORKSHEET from their website! I should point out here that you’d spend far more on paper & toner than if you purchased their book though. They even create worksheets around the holidays that are specific to that holiday, which I personally love. I was originally turned on to their site from my oldest daughter’s preschool class who used worksheets from the book. I went & sought out the book they came from because I thought the worksheets were really well done. For example, here’s their Valentine’s Day worksheet options (which incidentally is a great look into their format for worksheets): Click the photo & it will direct you to School Sparks website (and these Valentine’s day worksheets):
