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 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.
