I do homeschooling with my children in the summer months. They are better prepared for the grade they are entering in Sept. I LOVE the School Zone series of workbooks. This book compiles several of the smaller ones. Such subjects covered are math, english, and science. My son is just about done with 2nd grade now. The content of the book was a good reflection on the curriculum for this year.
My daughter loves this workbook. I had purchased some Kumon workbooks for summer enrichment. Both of my daughters, ages 7 and 5, found them to be very boring. This workbook is colorful, interesting, and covers a lot of ground. As my daughter says, "it's so much fun, it's not like doing work!" I will get more books in this series next summer.
Pretty good workbook. I homeschool and I like to use workbooks for convenience sake. This has multiple subjects. I do like the Brainquest one better, but we finished that one and needed something new. This does the job
Well, it's lacking in social studies, history, and spelling/vocabulary, but it has a decent amount of math and English review, and the science section features easy experiments you can do at home with your little one. A lot of the activities require further explanation than what they give, so be ready to do some actual teaching. It is sufficient for my daughter's summer review before she starts second grade, but you're looking for a more holistic education workbook (perhaps home school quality) this isn't what you need. So basically, better than a coloring book but not quite textbook.
We started second grade with average grades. I wanted my daughter to get the most out of this critical year in school and to be honest the teacher was amazing, however what to do on long winter, holiday, and summer breaks? We could only go to the library so many times then I found this "Big Workbook", we worked our way through the different sections such as math and vowel recognition and the grades continued to improve. By the end of the year (just a couple weeks ago) my daughter was nominated for the "ARC" program starting her 3rd grade year. The ARC program is for gifted children who are in the upper 97% percentile! I could not be happier. While many things went into her amazing improvement and learning, just looking back through this book, at the pages we did not tear out, reflects just how much she learned and progressed throughout the year. With out a doubt well worth the money!
This colorful workbook kept my son interested and engaged all summer. It covered all the basics to avoid the learning loss that could occur over the summer without continual reinforcement. He worked on just 5-6 page per day, less than half an hour's worth, and it definitely made all the difference in keeping his skills sharp.
this product is great. my kids are home schooled and daughter found this easy to use and it was fun
We bought this book for our son who starts 2nd grade in the fall. We mainly use it to keep him mentally stimulated during the summer. Lessons are good and easy to follow. The only thing I wish was there were more math problems or examples but you can do those on a separate piece of paper.
