Congratulations on your decision to share in and improve

a child s education. Home Learning Tools workbooks are developed in

consultation with Dr. Edward Z. Tronick, Ph.D., Harvard School of Education,

Chief of the Child Development Unit at Harvard Medical School. This series is

designed to set children on a lifelong path of learning and accomplishment.

The Addition and Subtraction workbook provides an introduction to the

adding and subtracting process. Both addition and subtraction sections begin

by showing how objects combine or are removed from sets to create new sets

of objects. The facts are practiced vertically and horizontally with objects and

then without objects. The book progresses to 2-digit addition and subtraction

and fact families. Suggest that the child start at the beginning of the book and

work through the pages in order. For additional skill review, look for other

Home Learning Tools educational workbooks.

All Home Learning Tools products encourage exploration, learning, review, and

practice. With their appealing full-color illustrations and carefully designed

activities, they are unlike any other educational series. To enhance the learning

experience, here are six helpful hints and suggestions:

1. Choose a time and place that is comfortable for you and the child. ,

2. Be sure the child understands the directions. Enjoy working together until

the activities are familiar enough to encourage independent work.

3. Children learn and work at different rates. The length of time spent on an

individual activity may vary from day to day.

4. Discuss and praise the progress made throughout the learning process. For

additional reinforcement and review, display finished work where it can be

enjoyed often.

5. Above all, enjoy and celebrate learning at home with Home Learning
