EXCELLENT - Boost your child's get-ready-to-read, visual perception. These Memory Match I Try Skill Cards are a fun and easy way to help toddlers and early preschoolers practice important pre-reading skills. Recognizing shapes and sounds (by naming objects out loud), leads to recognizing more complex symbols such as letters and words. The 30 large picture cards (15 pairs) with rounded corners are easy for little hands to grasp and memorable illustrations and bright colors make them entertaining! A Parent Card includes suggestions for games and ideas that maximize play and learning. For a basic Memory Match game, turn all the cards face up for a good look. Then turn them back down, and begin flipping them over one by one to find matches. Mom or dad can play, an older sibling can guide a younger one. Pair up play and learning. Get an edge with the School Zone AdvantageTM!
FLASHCARDS - Kids and parents who use our flashcards for practice testing are using one of the most effective learning techniques available. A hundred years of research shows practice testing is highly likely to boost retention. Learning skills through gameplay is an excellent strategy for many reasons. They are fun and motivating, and games also tend to help students deepen their understanding and reasoning. Because games feel more like play than work, they can encourage kids to explore and experiment with concepts more freely and can reduce the stress of viewing schoolwork as nothing more than problems.
RESULTS - Our learning materials have helped educate three generations of kids, creating lifelong learners, and the legacy continues. Digital content, flash cards, workbooks, readers, toys, and games are all crafted through a child's eyes while integrating parent and teacher standards.

School Zone Publishing - Nourishing Young Minds
OUR STORY: Almost 40 years ago, long-time educators James Hoffman, Ed.D., and his wife Joan Hoffman, M.A., began a retail supply outlet for teachers, then soon identified a need for at-home learning materials to help parents support and supplement their children's classroom instruction. School Zone Publishing fast emerged as the market leader in workbooks and flashcards for preschoolers through sixth graders.
School Zone remains family-owned, focused on excellence, responsive to customers, alert to emerging technology, and committed to the community. We continually update our products with new features and content, reflective of changing standards, evolving teaching methods, and overall best practices. As just one example, we update our workbook curriculum on an as-needed basis to address changing standards such as those presented by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and Common Core.
