The listen-and-match game that makes learning fun!

Hear & Go Seek Everyday Sounds is the fun, easy way for young learners to develop important early literacy and listening skills! Players listen carefully to the CD for familiar sounds that are commonly heard every day. If the objects making those sounds correctly match the objects pictured on their game boards, players place game pieces on the matching pictures. The first player to fill his or her game board wins!

Featuring photographic pictures that appeal to young learners, Hear & Go Seek Everyday Sounds teaches vocabulary recognition of everyday objects and their sounds. It also improves observation and short-term memory, while helping children develop listening, visual discrimination, and critical thinking skills.

Hear & Go Seek Everyday Sounds can accommodate small or large group play up to 12 players. It can also be used by a single player to reinforce visual and auditory vocabulary recognition. It’s a perfect game for the classroom as a positive reward or an expansion of a unit theme, and it’s ideal to play at home as well. Plus, each game includes an instruction sheet with suggestions for additional vocabulary-building activities. Play Hear & Go Seek and discover the sounds of learning fun!

The 100+ Series Mixed Skills in Math, Grades 7-8: Keeping Students Sharp With Daily Practice and Review

The 100+ Series Mixed Skills in Math, Grades 7-8: Keeping Students Sharp With Daily Practice and Review


The nice thing about this review book is that the skills really are mixed. I have used all of the books in this series when tutoring students in math. The constant repetition of basic skills helps to reinforce them in the minds of the students, even as they progress to more advanced ideas. One caution. This book does not explain how to do the problems. There are no examples. It is simply a book of mixed-skill problems. It presumes that a teacher, parent or tutor will provide explanations when needed. What the book claims to do, it does very well. Also the problems are presented in a format that is pleasing to kids.

Nice Early Reading Tool; 36 Fun Puzzle-Based Activities
This deck of puzzle cards contains a total of 54 cards, that contain the 'pieces' for 18 full color puzzles (3 cards per puzzle) on one side and 18 blue-tone puzzles on the reverse side.

The full-color side contains, when the pictures are completed, pictures of animals in numbers from 1-18, and each completed puzzle contains a phrase identifying the amount, color, and type of animal; ie. three white sheep. For my four-year old, who we primarily purchased these for, I think that these simple, but obvious, phrases will aid in encouraging simple reading skills. She has two sets of these puzzle cards made by the School Zone company and seems to enjoy both of them a lot, both for playing alone during quiet time and as a learning activity with mom.

The reverse side, with the blue-tones, which would be the 'advanced' level of the puzzle game, I suppose, is dedicated to shapes, numbers and emotions; ie. 'one sad rectangle' or 'eight surprised triangles.' The reverse side, because of the the single colors, is of course more difficult to match because the cards look more alike than the full color side.

For the price, you just can't beat these little cards games. We bought four of them recently, and each one is a fun learning activity in its own unique way.

Something I especially like about them is that this company manufactures their card games in the USA.
