Big Learning Tablet Preschool, Paperback Book, By: Joan Hoffman

One great big tablet = hours of colourful preschool learning! With the creative, colourful pages packed full of skill-building activities in Preschool Big Learning Tablet, little ones are introduced to early math and reading skills through a wide variety of lessons such as "Trace and colour the shape, " "Colour the pictures that begin with the letter p, " and "Draw a line from each group of 8 to the number 8." By teaching colours, shapes, the alphabet, basic phonics, numbers, early math, and more, this great tablet sets the stage for school success. Boost confidence and celebrate the achievement with more than 20 adorable reward stickers. Who wouldn't like to adorn their work with a diamond that says, "You Sparkle"?! The vertical, portrait-oriented cover makes for easy shelving or dropping into a backpack, and because it lays flat, left-handed writers will have free space on the left side.

Among the titles is Peter's Dream, I Don't Like Peas, and The New Bike (the latter two published under the pen name Marie Vinje), the Get Ready for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade workbook trio, along with the entire Get Ready, Little Thinker, I Know It!, Try-n-Spy, and Little Busy Book workbook series. She is also co-founder, along with her late husband James Hoffman, Ph.D., of School Zone Publishing. Visionary in business, she has long looked at the world through a child's eyes, infusing her stories and lessons with joy and reliability. As a mother of 4 back in the '70s, like moms the world over throughout history, she wanted what was best for her children. And she knew that teachers didn't have the time to give her kids everything they needed. As an elementary school teacher, Hoffman worked hard to give her students what they needed to learn. And parents would ask her what they could do to help. That's why she started School Zone-to help give children every possible chance to reach their potential. She brought retail experience gleaned from previously founding and managing two regional educational book and supply stores for teachers and parents. Her husband lent his blended talents of educator and entrepreneur. A professor of education who also had the first-hand experience as an elementary teacher, he was involved in teacher education programs at several colleges and had served at the helm of a company that published classroom materials. Combining rock-solid editorial judgment and creative instincts with a thorough understanding of early education, Joan Hoffman was an exemplary proponent of design thinking long before it became a conceptual label. An innovative problem-solver, she has always sought to reach out to end-users and challenge conventions. Separating fleeting trends from legitimate advances has been essential to her company's longevity. The results speak for themselves. With the next generation-both son Jonathan and daughter Jennifer-taking on creative and strategic leadership roles in the company their parents started, School Zone seamlessly integrated digital learning platforms. The company received Apple's exclusive Human Interface Design Excellence Award for software development, and its apps were part of the first-generation iPad launch in 2010. School Zone's flagship product, the Little Scholar Learning Tablet, has earned industry-wide recognition and awards, as has its online learning destination Anywhere, Teacher. Inspired by mom's story-telling excellence, son Jonathan continued that legacy with Charlie & Company, an original series for ages 3-7, available on Oznnoz, Kidoodle.tv, ToonGoggles, Battery Pop, Ameba, and Highbrow. Joan Hoffman says, "It is incredibly rewarding to see the children and grandchildren of some of our original customers enjoying our ever-evolving books, apps, flashcards, games, music, and other products-both print and digital." In 2019 School Zone celebrates its 40th anniversary, spanning portions of five decades and having sold more
