Review: Great for introducing addition - My 5-year old son used this book last year. After he completed the "NUmber 1-120" book he started this one and had no problem accepting the concept of addition. In general, I like Kumon-series, in particular the early math books. For example, "Numbers 1-30" is a great book to introduce numbers/counting, and "simple addition" is a good one to introduce addition, and so on. My personal opinion for "intro-level" tracing/writing/math books is to start as early as possible. For books recommended for "2-3-4" and "3-4-5", start as soon as your child turns 2 or 3, respectively. For books recommended for "4-5-6" and older, you can even start 1/2 or 1 year earlier than the recommended range. The key is to complete the earlier books in the same series such as Numbers 1-30 and Numbers 1-120 (consider them "prerequisites"), and your child will be ready for this one. Also, the first a few pages of this book IS counting (similar to those in 1-120) and serve as a transition from the previous book, which is nice and my son did not feel intimidated by starting a "new skill". Some followup information to share: My son finished this book and then the "Addition" and "Simple Subtraction" books and now the "Addition: Speed&Accuracy" and "Subtraction". However, I have not found which Kumon book to do the next. In principle one should start learning grouping/re-grouping. The problem with grade-level Kumon math book is that they still start from the simple level, like "1+1,2+1,3+1" etc, and this could go on for 10 out of the 50 pages of the book, while I want to see grouping/re-grouping on page 1! Review: Intuitive, non intimidating, great for solidifying basic facts. - Excellent incremental & intuitive workbook! My kids have struggled in both public & elite private schooling due to the fact that all school curriculum is taught out of order and skips necessary fundamental concepts. Having homeschool forced on us is a blessing in disguise, because it’s given us as parents a direct window into the education system, curriculum, and chaotic daily requirements. I feel bad that my two kids have suffered through from preschool to 2nd grade. No more! We enrolled in Kumon and I’m utilizing all of these workbooks to cultivate a curriculum for our family. This simple addition book has been a life saver in allowing my daughters the opportunity to go back and solidify basic concepts, rebuild self confidence, and feel inspired to move forward at their own pace. This book covers adding 1’s & 2’s. Nothing fancy, but it does present addition in a non intimidating format and highlights patterns that begin to click. Thank you Kumon! ## Features - Kumon simple addition - Language: english - Book - my book of simple addition: ages 4-5-6 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,281,050 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,132 in Children's Arithmetic Books #25,543 in Children's Activity Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,178 Reviews | ## Images ![Kumon My Book Of Simple Addition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JP-3nlPXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for introducing addition *by X***G on July 10, 2013* My 5-year old son used this book last year.
