Timberdoodle's review   In the last couple of years, our family has had the privilege of hosting a wide variety of children, for a wide variety of reasons. In every case, regardless of whether the child was intellectually gifted or at some point on the autism spectrum, we could see a need for that child to learn how to think. Somehow parents have received the mistaken notion that if their children are proficient in the "three 'R's" they were successful, but that is woefully untrue. Children need to be taught how to think and how to reason; the sooner the better, as 75% of a child's IQ will be developed before seven years of age. Likewise, many thinking skills programs emphasize a couple of the essential perception skills, but until now, none had systematically tackled them all. Developing the Early Learner fleshes out all four fundamental perception skills - visual, auditory, motor, and comprehension - via a gently progressive sequence of enjoyable activities. This proven system boosts these important skill areas through 245 exercises in four straightforward workbooks. Very easy to use, this series of workbooks helps you discover your children's learning weaknesses while there is plenty of time to make improvements. Each book contains a diagnostic progress chart so you can track progress. Although there is a page or two that contains either a gun or a ghost, overall the artwork is charming and the activities are presented in a way that holds a young child's attention. Arizona State University tested this series of workbooks and found that 95% of children who took the program significantly increased in their learning abilities. If your child is able to manipulate a crayon, he is old enough for Developing the Early Learner.   Average Customer Review: Based on 4 Reviews. Write a review.

Clearer in these books than others October 20, 2008 Reviewer: Joeann F. from Sturgis, MS   My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed working in these books.  The way these concepts are taught are clearer in these books than others that we have used.  I love the systematic approach and that all the perception skills are utilized.  We love it!

It is challenging so he is learning October 18, 2008 Reviewer: Delores H. from Chinquapin, NC   I like the workbooks, though I do think that some of the tasks are a bit challenging for some younger children. I was told that the product indicated that all the child had to be able to do was, "hold a crayon." Well, my 4yo son can hold a crayon very well, but remembering tasks after 1 minute (some of the tasks tell you to give instructions, wait a minute, then let the child begin) seemed very challenging for him. I think this is a great program overall -- it is challenging so he is learning. Oh, and some of the worksheets are meant for more public school children -- my son does not know really about Valentines and Halloween costumes. Was this review helpful to you?
