Jumpstart 1st Gr: Jumbo Workbook
Captain Frankie and his sidekick Floyd are readying their ship for a  trip to Tree Fort Island where learning is an adventure! Join Frankie the dog as  he explores phonics, spelling, parts of speech, math readiness, time and money,  the environment, and lots more. In this curriculum-linked, classroom-proven  workbook series from JumpStart, each 320-page workbook contains an entire year's  worth of exercises, with three different skill levels for "jumping" ahead. In  the first grade edition, every page has a new, sequenced challenge for the young  learner, from identifying the sounds of consonants on island objects to coloring  beach shells labeled with nouns and pronouns to matching clock faces to the  correct time. Full-color art and lively games and activities make education fun,  while reward stickers and Certificates of Completion reinforce children's sense  of accomplishment as they complete each section. Frankie the friendly pooch is  on hand in special features called "Frankie's Facts" that offer support and  advanced learning tips. The workbook includes answer keys, 120 full-color  stickers, and a URL for the JumpStart Web site. Finished with first grade? Jump  on up to the next level,Jumbo  JumpStart Workbook: Second Grade.
