Questions & Answers
Does the workbook require the help of a parent or teacher?
Yes, especially for the first few weeks. Moreover, a parent should stay within earshot of
the computer so as to answer any questions their children will have. Doubtless, they will have
many. After an exercise has been done on paper, parents must check their children’s work to make
sure it has been done properly and that the vocabulary words covered are generally
understood. Perhaps the best way to do this is to have their students use the vocabulary
words in sentences of their own making.
Will any of the exercises be too hard for youngsters to do?
No. The exercises remain invariably easy throughout the workbook.
Can this book be used at home as well as school?
Yes.
For what grade is the workbook geared?
It may be used by preschoolers, first, second, third, or fourth graders—by anyone who is just
beginning to read. It may also be used in upper grades, including high school. Students who
can already read can use it to develop a richer vocabulary. It builds all four vocabularies, as
it were—reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
Is Natural Reader compatible with this document?
No. Only the free, built-in Adobe reader can be used.
When should I start my children on this workbook?
After your children have been drilled for a couple months on the "Six Basic Fun PDFs" (i.e.
Phonics Charts, Printing and Cursive, Titles in Storyland, Families 1 and 2, and Derivatives),
they should then be sufficiently prepared to do these exercises.
How long should it take my child to finish this workbook?
It depends on four factors: one, your child's motivation and intelligence; two, the age and
maturity of your child; three, your ability as a teacher to enkindle your child's inquisitive
spirit; and, four, the time you are able to devote to this task. Depending on these four
factors, you should be able to complete all the exercises within a half year, give or take a few
months.
