She was barely 4 years old, I designed this workbook, “Look mommy, I am growing up” with the intent to introduce her to the alphabet, numbers and shapes keeping it simple and fun.

The workbook contains wide variety of exercises. There are various exercises including similarities, differences, basic alphabet letters, numbers, and more.

As a homeschool mom, I believe "schooling" should always be fun especially at the foundation phase age. This helps build a love for learning and that it is something to look forward to. Because my daughter was eager to learn and excited to start I wanted to embrace this phase without breaking her enthusiasm.

This workbook served as a "keep busy" book allowing her to feel involved while her older sister was doing her exercises.

Using the skills I learned while digitizing the first workbook, I started out with Inkscape and Libre Office. Publishing first in Afrikaans and then in English.

Since 2024 my digital books are available for free (no strings attached) for anyone to use, they have also been updated and revamped to be Bitcoin-friendly. All I ask is that you refer to my website or Nostr account when sharing.

I hope you find this helpful. Enjoy, and follow me on Nostr @ SemcoMama. If you’d like to support my work zap me some sats.

About this foundation phase workbook:

An educational exercise book helping children identify differences, similarities and pattern recognition during the foundation phase. “Look mommy, I am growing up” is great for preschoolers.

Children can be creative using different coloured crayons or pencils.

Development of the following:

  • Letter- and sound recognition
  • Number recognition
  • Colours and shapes
  • Number 0-10
  • Identify
  • Colouring
  • and more!

-

-

This book is ideal for parents who want to play an active role in this phase of their child’s development and education. It will also give satisfaction to the parent that wants to teach his/her own child the foundation of reading and writing by working together in the book.

(The character style and writing symbols may differ depending on the country you live in.)

"I want to learn to read and write mommy."

I designed this workbook for my eldest when she was 5 years old. She came to me one day asking me, "Mommy, I want to learn to read and write."

The first book I designed (the one she used) was done by hand with pencil and paper. I wanted to digitize the worksheets for my other children to print and reuse, but at the time I had no experience with digital design. Since I was a Linux user I used Libre Office and Inkscape. Learning on the go eventually publishing 4 workbooks and 1 basic reader all crafted with open source software. At first workbooks were only available in Afrikaans, but I had many requests to also publish them in English and now all of my material is available in English and Afrikaans.

-

Since 2024 my digital books are available for free (no strings attached) for anyone to use, they have also been updated and revamped to be Bitcoin-friendly. All I ask is that you refer to my website or Nostr account when sharing.

I am not a teacher and have no degree or diploma in education. Just a mom that had difficulty finding classical education workbooks to help my daughter learn to read and write. I took it upon myself to design something that worked for us.

I hope you find this helpful. Enjoy, and follow me on Nostr.

About this workbook

An educational exercise book teaching children to read and write during the foundation phase. “Look mommy, I can read and write” is for home and classroom use. It can be used as an extra aid for Grade R or Grade 1 curriculum or as a revision book.

Each exercise was drafted by hand and then digitized. The letters had to be as similar to hand written symbols as possible. It was well researched. Due to the fact that all is in black and white, the children can be more creative by using colour pencils and crayons.

The first letter is the letter “a”, then follows the letter “d”. By doing just the first two letter exercises the child will already be able to sound (read) the word “dad”. Each letter consists of three exercises.

-

There are many pictures to colour, sentence and word building exercises.

This book is particularly ideal for parents who want to play an active role in this phase of their child’s development and education. It will also give satisfaction to the parent that wants to teach his/her own child to read and write by working together in the book.

It is a great homework aid for teachers to send home for extra repetition.

(The character style and writing symbols may differ depending on the country you live in.)
