Let's Get Ready to Learn Review and Giveaway

Let's Get Ready to Learn Review and Giveaway


Being that I am a Pre-K Teacher, I personally understand the importance of making sure that each and every child is more than ready when they leave my classroom. There are so many curriculum options out there, it is nearly impossible to find the best or even a functional program.

This is why I was so excited to receive Cedar Valley's Lets Get Ready books. Stacy was wonderful to work with and after some research I found that she is a very successful woman and Stacey is an authority in the education field. Her education and experience helps me to feel comfortable to use this is my classroom.


This book begins with basic skills that your Kindergartener will need before they enter Kindergarten.Your child will then be introduced to the guide for the book named Mrs Good, the Kindergarten teacher and the Cedar Valley Kids. Your child then is slowly introduced to all the skills including the alphabet, colors, shapes, numbers, opposites, the time, their telephone number and many more. Lets Get Ready for Kindergarten ends with a list of Parent and Care-giver tips. The list is detailed words of wisdom from a wise mother.



This book is also available as a bi-lingual edition. (Spanish-English)




Let Get Ready for First Grade follows the same layout for the most part. However, in First Grade your child's teacher is Ms. Best and an older group of Cedar Valley kids are her students. In this book, your rising first grader will learn about vowels, consonants, word families, geometric shapes, food groups, addition, ordinals and much more. This book also ends with a list of great Parent-Caregiver tips.

There are so many other things that sold me on this book. I love that it is laminated and we can write, wipe and re-write on the pages. The pages are thick and srong, allowing me to believe that the pages are durable and will last quite some time. Each book was also scrutinized by experts and awarded the Adding Wisdom award, thereby only adding further strength to each book's substance. The best of all is that 10% of profits from the sales of each book is donated to literacy programs.

Buy It: You can buy your own copy of Let's get ready for $15 or $17 here.
