AMAZING - Help your preschooler get ready for a great start with this 64-page Preschool Scholar Deluxe Edition workbook. This isn’t just a kids reading comprehension workbook and early math workbook, but a kids workbook that covered a variety of foundational topics. Follow the lovable Lulu on a trip through the Grand Zoo, as an iguana, quetzal, unicorn, and other critter friends make reading and writing ABCs so much fun! Kids, ages 3 to 5, will enjoy learning beginning sounds, early math, cause & effect, shapes, and much more! The tablet size design of the workbook makes it easy to slip into a backpack or bag, so your child can learn and have fun anytime, anywhere! A Parent Guide inside the front cover offers helpful tips for maximizing the learning, and Activities to Share inside the back cover suggest fun, easy, creative activities that get kids stretching their senses and critical thinking skills.

WORKBOOKS FOR KIDS - Writing by hand, as opposed to typing on a computer, fires up specific areas of a child's brain, improving a child's ability to not only remember what he or she learns but to think of new ideas. Completing physical pages also give a sense of accomplishment that’s hard to get from a digital product. This is a workbook kids are sure to enjoy! When the workbook is finished, you can fill out the included completion certificate to reward a job well done. Hang it on the wall or fridge to display their achievement with pride.

OUR STORY - Almost 40 years ago, long-time educators James Hoffman, Ed.D., and his wife Joan Hoffman, M.A., began a retail supply outlet for teachers, then soon identified a need for at-home learning materials to help parents support and supplement their children’s classroom instruction. School Zone Publishing fast emerged as the market leader in workbooks and flashcards for preschoolers through sixth graders.

School Zone remains family-owned, focused on excellence, responsive to customers, alert to emerging technology, and committed to the community. We continually update our products with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices. As just one example, we update our kids workbook curriculum on an as-needed basis to address changing standards such as those presented by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and Common Core.

Joan Hoffman, M.A., is the author and co-author of hundreds popular storybooks and workbooks for children. Among the titles are Peter’s Dream, I Don’t Like Peas, and The New Bike (the latter two published under the pen name Marie Vinje), the Get Ready for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade workbook trio, along with the entire Get Ready, Little Thinker, I Know It!, Try-n-Spy, and Little Busy Book workbook series.

She is also co-founder, along with her late husband James Hoffman, Ph.D., of School Zone Publishing. Visionary in business, she has long looked at the world through a child’s eyes, infusing her stories and lessons with joy and relatability.

 As a mother of 4 back in the ‘70s, like moms the world over throughout history, she wanted what was best for her children. And she knew that teachers didn’t have the time to give her kids everything they needed. As an elementary school teacher, Hoffman worked hard to give her students what they needed to learn. And parents would ask her what they could do to help. That’s why she started School Zone—to help give children every possible chance to reach their potential. 

She brought retail experience gleaned from previously founding and managing two regional educational book and supply stores for teachers and parents. Her husband lent his blended talents of educator and entrepreneur. A professor of education who also had first-hand experience as an elementary teacher, he was involved in teacher education programs at several colleges and had served at the helm of a company that published classroom materials.

Combining rock-solid editorial judgment and creative instincts with a thorough understanding of early education, Joan Hoffman was an exemplary proponent of design thinking long before it became a conceptual label. An innovative problem-solver, she has always sought to reach out to end users and challenge convention. Separating fleeting trends from legitimate advances has been essential to her company’s longevity.

The results speak for themselves. With the next generation—both son Jonathan and daughter Jennifer—taking on creative and strategic leadership roles in the company their parents started, School Zone seamlessly integrated digital learning platforms. The company received Apple’s exclusive Human Interface Design Excellence Award for software development, and its apps were part of the first-generation iPad launch in 2010. School Zone’s flagship product, the Little Scholar Learning Tablet, has earned industry-wide recognition and awards, as has its online learning destination Anywhere Teacher. Inspired by mom’s story-telling excellence, son Jonathan continued that legacy with Charlie & Company, an original series for ages 3-7, available on Oznnoz, Kidoodle.tv, ToonGoggles, BatteryPop, Ameba, and Highbrow.

Joan Hoffman says, “It is incredibly rewarding to see the children and grandchildren of some of our original customers enjoying our ever-evolving books, apps, flash cards, games, music, and other products—both print and digital.” 

In 2019 School Zone celebrates its 40th anniversary, spanning portions of five decades and having sold more than 370 million educational products. Hoffman continues to be hands-on in the company, still writing, still envisioning, and still putting kids, parents, and teachers first.

Review:

My grandson is severely autistic and this was an excellent tool to assist him in learning. My daughter and her husband have used it almost every day. I will certainly buy another when he has completed all the tasks in this one. Highly recommend this tool for both challenged and non-challenged children. --Amazon

We have several different preschool workbooks and this one is fantastic! It has a little of everything, cute pictures, and a variety of learning activities. I think you would be hard pressed to find this quality for less. This was a great buy. My child literally brings this to me asking, "can we do this today", so I may have to buy another when we finish this one. I highly recommend this, even for young toddlers- preschool age. --Amazon

My son does not like reading or writing very much. He gets very discouraged easily. I have to convince him to practice daily. I bought this book hoping he might find it a bit funner and it worked. He does not get bored as easy as he did before. This has little activities in it to keep him occupied and keep his interest. It has every letter and is very educational for a kid going into kindergarten. He especially likes it when i put a sticker on his page when he's done and tell him how great he did in his "study book". IT REALLY GIVES HIM THE CONFIDINCE HE NEEDS TO KEEP PRACTICING. Not too simple and not too difficult. Not only does this have tracing letters but it also has little activities to get his big brain working such as simple things like coloring things that start with a certain letter. Very glad I got this book. PLEASE LIKE MY REVIEW IF YOU FOUND IT HELPFUL. THANK YOU! --Amazon
