I own several Kana workbooks. This one is average. Not as instructive as Rita Lampkins, not as comprehensive as Mitamura's two book set on hiragana and katakana, but OK.I have the text as well and there is not really that much of a connection between the two. So you can use the workbook on its own. I don't own the tapes that give aural reinforcement to some of the exercises in the workbook. They are too expensive.
I have taught Japanese out of several books, and I would not recommend this one, especially for beginner Japanese students. It is not very user friendly, and there is not an answer key for any of the books.
I've had experiences with the workbook for a college text on Japanese and it was almost worthless. This is not, the exercises match the book well and have some real value. I recommend this book. Not the best in the world, but up to the task. Recommended.
Workbook contains all kind of hiragana activities: reading, writing and even games. Though I'd prefer more writing pages, so that student's won't need buying special notebooks.
User friendly and great activity book to keep up with Japanese
