Customer Reviews

I was so excited until..

There are many pages that are already used. I wouldn't have purchased a book that the activities were already completed in. What's the point. I'm very upset.

not suitable for homeschool but get as supplemental workbook

If you were intending to use this workbook as a homeschool curriculum you will be disappointed. If your child doesn't have background knowledge such as an understanding of historical occurrences such as the pilgrim voyage than they will be lost on some pages. The workbook provides a few sentences of background info on some topics such as mammals but it is obviously meant to expand current knowledge and not provide the lesson itself. Another `flaw' is that these workbooks tend to be 1 grade or more behind. I recommend buying one a grade or two above the level at which your child works.

summer homework

I bought this book for my son who will be starting first grade in the fall - I am very pleased with the content. I bought the book so he could keep up with his learning through the summer and get a head start in the areas he was not taught in kindergarten.It is the perfect book for the purpose intended. I will continue to do the same every summer with the next levels of this book.

Great for some kids, too easy for others

This fabulous series of books helps parents be proactive in their kids' education. However, this 1st Grade edition may be too easy for kids who had an excellent kindergarten that taught basics such as reading, phonics, simple math, etc. I've found it to be a good review of what my son learned in kindergarten, but am going to buy the 2nd grade level to prepare him for 1st grade in his school.
