We focused a little more on those books that were about to be completed this month...
#1 - My Book of Simple Addition by Kumon
Ian had been working on this book for well over a year perhaps? The book consisted of drilling exercises for adding 1, and later on, 2. At the beginning, Ian dreaded doing this book, so I put it away and sent him to learn abacus. After a break of a few months from this book, I took it out again and he seemed less resistant towards the exercises in it, as he was more confident to tackle the monotonous exercises. Perhaps after the horror of his abacus homework, this seemed less frightening, and he was able to do a few pages a day to complete it.
#2 - My Book of Writing Words by Kumon
This books focused on consonants and vowels, but it only required the child to trace/copy the words with a few repetitions. I wondered how much Ian had absorbed from tracing/copying the words, but he did the exercises gladly anyway.
#3 - Let's Sticker & Paste by Kumon
Now, a book for Belle. It was one that she enjoyed pretty much.
#4 - Chinese Sticker Book
Another book for Belle. She had to match the shape of the stickers to the shaded shapes in the pictures. It did not pose much difficulty for her, but I did skip the logic/reasoning exercises at the bottom half of every page as those could not catch her attention at all.
