Overview:
Introducing the Wipe Clean Starting School Activity Pack, a durable four-book set built to support children as they prepare for school. This Sandcastle Books collection brings four wipe-clean activity titles together in a single Paperback pack and includes a convenient wipe-clean pen so kids can start practicing right away. The titles—Times Tables, First Sums, First Words, and Telling the Time—are designed for quick, mess-free practice at home, in after-school clubs, or in classroom warm-ups. Each book uses bold illustrations and clear instructions to keep learners engaged while they build essential skills: fluent counting and multiplication basics, simple addition, early reading, and time-telling concepts. The reusable pages invite repeated attempts, reducing frustration and boosting confidence as children master foundational tasks that set the tone for formal learning.

What This Collection Covers:
Together, these four wipe-clean books cover the core readiness competencies: numeracy through Times Tables and First Sums, early literacy via First Words, and time concepts in Telling the Time. The friendly layouts break tasks into small steps, making daily practice manageable and enjoyable. The pen-friendly pages encourage precise handwriting and clean erasure, so kids can try again without worry. Visual cues, bright characters, and age-appropriate language support independent learning, and the compact formats fit into short sessions between activities. This collection is ideal for establishing consistent practice routines at home, daycare, or school, helping children experience success as they build speed, accuracy, and confidence across essential early-year skills.

Times Tables
Times Tables offers a friendly, step-by-step approach to multiplication, starting with the basics and building toward more mixed problems. Each page provides short, focused drills that encourage recall and fluency, with ample space to write and erase using the included pen. Bright illustrations and approachable prompts guide children through routine practice, fostering steady progress and a calm, confident mindset toward maths. The wipe-clean surface supports quick feedback and repeated attempts, making it easy to track improvement across sessions. This book is ideal for reinforcing number sense and multiplication readiness in early primary years, whether at home or in school activities.

First Sums
First Sums concentrates on early addition through practical, kid-friendly problems. The exercises connect numbers to everyday contexts, helping children recognize ways to combine values and check results. The wipe-clean pages invite repeated trials, turning mistakes into learning moments and helping young learners develop strategies that stick. Short activities promote focus and persistence, while the friendly visuals keep the experience engaging. With consistent practice, children build foundational arithmetic fluency, increase their confidence with numbers, and lay groundwork for more complex maths later in the school year.

First Words
First Words introduces beginner readers to essential vocabulary through tracing letters and forming simple words. Children practice handwriting on wipe-clean pages, guided by clear prompts and cheerful illustrations that reinforce sight words and phonics basics. The book encourages independent practice, helping early readers gain confidence as they assemble short phrases and build early reading fluency. By combining visual cues with approachable text, this title supports early literacy development and spelling readiness, providing a dependable stepping stone for children as they move toward more challenging reading tasks.

Telling the Time
Telling the Time offers a gentle introduction to hours, minutes, and everyday time-telling routines. With friendly clock faces and step-by-step prompts, children learn to read analogue time, understand hour-and-minute relationships, and begin applying what they’ve learned to daily activities. The wipe-clean format supports hands-on practice, allowing quick corrections and repeated attempts to reinforce understanding. By gradually increasing complexity, this book helps young learners gain practical time literacy—an essential skill for routines, scheduling, and independence as they approach school life and family activities.
