This is the first Kumon Workbook in our series. Within, children have the opportunity to practice basic pencil-control skills. All the exercises include colorful, pleasing pictures that children will enjoy drawing. Children start by tracing straight vertical lines, and gradually move to drawing more challenging curved, zigzag, and diagonal lines. Through these exercises children will acquire the ability to use a pencil easily.
This book is perfect for pre-writing. If your child shows an interest in writing- start with this! It covers vertical, horizontal, curves, and diagonal lines. The pictures are good and the book itself is of good quality.
Tracing made me think of tracing paper over an image and tracing a drawing. However, this book is about gaining control of a pencil and connecting a path from one object to another.
