A good tool for summer, 2008-08-04
I've used software based curriculum in the past, but decided to go with the workbook this year. I'm pleased with it and my child has been able to be self-directed in her work. It's a fun way for her to stay sharp and be ready to hit the ground running in the fall.

Summer Learning, 2008-07-07
Thus far this has been a good skill set for our children. The worksheets keep their brains working without stressing them out like they're in school. We love the fact that there is a tool available where they can continue to think and enjoy the summer too.

Great Tool for Kids, 2008-06-26
This book is an excellent tool to assist fifth graders to keep abreast of the subject areas they learned all year. My daughter utilize the book every day and I find that it is such a rememberance tool - as it will keep her prepared to start middle school where she will not have to play catch up and be ahead of her class. Get this resource, believe me you will not be disappointed.

Great book!, 2008-06-19
We've used these in the summer for our two boys for the past couple years and last year my older son was the ONLY kid in his class who saw his standardized testing scores IMPROVE from the spring to the fall. I'm sure this wouldn't have been the case had he not done this workbook over the summer. In addition, the way these books are arranged is excellent, and we particularly like the way the book is broken up into groups of days (e.g., 15 days), which gives them nice intermediate goals toward which they can work. I would highly recommend this book to help your kids retain what they learned during the school year!

Fun Brain Exercise For the Summer!, 2008-06-05
This is the 4th successive year that we have purchased the Summer Bridge Activities series for our son. It's a great way to keep his brain in top learning form during the summer...he actually looks forward to doing his workbook page(s) each day!

We would highly recommend the Summer Bridge series!
