Key Skills for Kids: Reading and Writing by Roger Priddy

Key Skills for Kids: Reading and Writing is the launch of a fantastic new learning series for children in Grade 1 from Priddy Books.

The 128-page paperback workbook is jam-packed with different reading and writing activities focussing on topics such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and more. Every exercise has been developed with an educational consultant specifically for this age group. The difficulty level increases throughout the book making it suitable for a range of different abilities.

The simple clear layouts and quirky illustrations are ideal for home learning as they encourage even the most reluctant learner to engage with the subjects. Each page also includes simple hints and tips for more detail. At the back of the book there is a fold-out certificate to give to your child on completion of the book, as well as over 100 reward stickers which can be used on each page once the activities are completed, or just for fun!

Publishing alongside Key Skills for Kids: Math in May 2023.
