Great book for entering Kindergarteners
My 5 year old son and I are about 1/2 way through this workbook. He has ADHD and other learning disabilites so it's difficult to keep his attention. However, the things in this book are things he is capable of doing and he asks me if he can do his "homework" like his older brother. The progress chart and stickers motivate him to want to learn more. We love this book.

Great workbook
My daughter, who was 4 when she got it, loves this workbook.I have to read the directions for her but then she takes off and does the work.It comes with star stickers and every few pages of the workbook have a spot for a star once the work is completed and she enjoys picking out the color and size of star to place.

Hooked on these workbooks
I purchased both the Hooked on Phonics Rhyming Words and More and the Hooked on Phonics Math Activities workbooks for the children that I teach at my daycare.These are the best workbooks that I have found by far.In the past I've bought a number of the Jumpstart workbooks as well as other workbooks and they are not as suitable for younger learners.The Jumpstart books in particular require a lot of reading and some of the exercises were confusing to the kids (ages 3-5).The Hooked on Phonics series of workbooks has fun activities and exercises, reward stickers, and the kids actually ask to work in them. ...

My 3 sons went from vehemently disliking reading to reading whenever they have a chance - amazing!
I was at the end of my rope with my son. I had never envisioned THIS problem...maybe not liking to write or not liking vegetables. I tried so many things. And, let me tell you, I am very creative & imaginative, but I couldn't get him to even try learning to read.
Then, I saw the Dr. Seuss 'workbooks' on a rack at the bookstore. They caught my eye because one of them was titled with the same phrase I heard over & over...everyday. "I AM NOT GOING TO READ..."
The first few times were a little rough, but, the contents were so appealing that he kept working on reading with me...then we did the other 2 workbooks...and VOILA!!!...he learned!!!
When my next son got to that point...BOOM...I got the workbooks and, now he reads constantly.
I would never have made it through that 'reading phase' with them if I hadn't seen those Dr. Seuss books.

Perfect!
This book is perfect for the beginning reader!I can't wait to give it to my God-child!The activities to go along with the easy-reading will keep young readers interested; and the stickers...perfect! ... Read more

More Effective Than I Thought
This is the follow-up for My Book Of Rhyming Words. As much as I like using Kumon workbooks in our homeschool curriculum, I was beginning to think they were only good for sight word practice. I was hoping the workbooks would help teach vowel sounds, especially the differences between short and long vowels.

Much to my surprise, my son did learn how to sound out words properly. For example, my son now understands how adding an "e" after "can" changes the sound of the "a" in "cane." I noticed my son was able to read words with similar sounds that were not in the workbooks, and I realized that he was not just memorizing what he wrote.

There are pictures for each word, lots of writing repetition, and review pages after every vowel, including "y." It's a little on the monotonous side, but if you limit your child to a few pages per day, it shouldn't be a problem. My son enjoyed learning new words so much that I found out he had been talking about his "schoolwork" to other family members. ... Read more

great practice writing and rhyming
This is another great Kumon workbook.Reinforces lower-case letters, vowels, rhymes.Wonderful colorful pictures that correlate with the words.My 4 year old loved it.You trace the words first, then progress to writing the words from scratch. The book has rhyming words grouped together, then eventually have conjunctions between them."Cat on hat", "Cat in hat" etc.Another one that my son breezed quickly through since it was interesting and fun.Paper & book quality are excellent as usual.

phonics awareness starter book

A Huge Hog is... a cute book
I have to say the other reviewer was right.Some kids, even though they are five, don't get the humor.But ya know, they will soon.Humor like many other things doesn't come to children all at the same time.

That said, I thought this book was funny and cute and --Oh, how I hope my daughter 'gets it' soon so she will stop with the terrible knock-knock jokes.

Four stars.Great pictures.I laughed; kids will get it eventually.But Minus 1 Star because there really needed to be more jokes for this price.

better for reading to a class
This book, I think, would be better for a storytime or a class because my daughter didn't get a lot of the riddles.(I know that sounds pathetic, but it's true.)If you have a group of kids, it will increase your chances that at least one of the kids will "get it," and then he/she can explain the joke to the other kids.

A lot of rhyming fun
"A Huge Hog Is a Big Pig," by Francis McCall and Patricia Keeler, is an enjoyable book. Each 2-page spread contains a riddle for which you have to guess a two-word rhyming response; when you turn the page, you have the answer. Examples: "A huge hog is a. . . BIG PIG." "A silly rabbit is a . . . FUNNY BUNNY." The book, which is set on a farm, is illustrated throughout with entertaining pictures of children and farm animals. Overall, a book with a lot of likeable energy.

A Ton of Fun (For Everyone!)
This book is sure to be a 'rave fave' with hip tykes of all stripes.

If you're looking for an interactive, playful book for kids, THIS IS IT!Kids & adults will have great fun reading it together.My kids were truly engaged by trying to guess the answers to the clues and couldn't wait to get to the next page. (Even grown-ups will get into the game!)

Plus, 'A Huge Hog' features a diverse cast of cute kids & animals in bold, eye-catching photographs.The bright layout is the perfect compliment to the witty word game.

I can guarantee that you'll want to keep on playing even when you're done reading! ... Read more

Not too impressed
I've heard a lot of great things about Kumon, so I was excited to get their rhyming workbook. It isn't any different from much cheaper workbooks that I already have.Every page is the same- it lists several rhyming words and has blank lines for students to copy the words. I wish I had viewed this book in person before buying; I wouldn't have gotten it.

Use 'Movable Alphabets' with this book for better results
The book is very good.

My kid is in prek at a Montessory school, So my purpose of buying the book was to reinforce what is taught at school. Thebook is about rhyming words which are more of 3 or 4 alphabet characters (mat,cat,cap,nap,dad,sad etc). However the biggest drawback I found in the book is the number of pages.There is virtually no repetition possible if the kid needs to repeat it.

So to augment it, I purchased 'Movable Alphabets'for about $50.00 from a leading auction site (ebay or google to find movable alphabets,even if you dont buy , You will get a better idea). Alternatively, you cancut alphabets neatly printed on a paper( blue color for vowels and red for rest, 10/vowel and 5 regular alphabets,laminate it if possible and arrange it neatly in order of A-Z)

My kid loves to learn words and thank Kumon for it.Kumon Publishers,you are doing an awesome job ,but please do not do penny pinching...Charge few dollars more and make the book over 200 pages with several optional exercises.!

This is the reason why the book did not get 5 stars

These Workbooks are the Best!
I homeschooled my two older boys through highschool, and now I have two little ones again.I am so glad I discovered these workbooks--they are the best!!They are well worth the price, with 80 pages of good quality paper and excellent graphics.(Note the current 4 for 3 deal also!) My 4 year old son LOVES them.The material is presented incrementally, giving plenty of practice for confidence building, with logical progression and fun learning.My Book of Rhyming Words is for beginning readers.I can't say enough about how much I love these books. ...

Rhyming Words Color Trace Learn
ISBN 0867341637 - Educational books for young children are all to be appreciated and this one is definitely one of those.

Each page features a single large illustrated item in black outline, like a coloring book. Under the illustration is the name of the item in the dotted line text that is used to teach kids how to write. Each set of facing pages feature rhyming words. In the center of the book are "pullout bonus activity rhyming word cards" which aren't exactly cards. They are made of the same paper as every other page. The last page has a game that directs children to connect the rhyming items with a line.

This is a great tool for homeschooling families or for parents who just want to help their young child get ahead. The illustrations are simple, just like any coloring book. The activities of coloring and tracing are fun and will keep children interested.
