Great for extra grammar and punctuation practice for 3rd grader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a cute book that I am using to supplement my homeschooling. It covers the grammar and punctuation section of the California state standards. It is fun to do and just the right amount of work for a child. It is not an all-inclusive language arts program, though. You would still need reading and writing books (I like Spectrum Reading and Spectrum Writing). In addition, you would also need spelling and vocabulary / word study books, as well as a lot of library books for daily recreational reading. I like this book because I feel that it has enough repetition and practice of each skill so that my child can learn to write and speak properly. I found that even in college many students did not know the basic rules of grammar. You can't emphasize grammar enough, in my opinion. I am even learning a few things that I had forgotten!
great book at a great price

I am using this book as the centerpiece for our 4th Grade homeschool language study. It's a great book, especially for the price. Occassionally, if a concept isn't really firm in my child's mind, I will write up an extra worksheet or two to reinforce the concept. However, the introduction of concepts and rules is just right for us. I really like the "Complete Book of" series. This book in particular is my favorite. I wish I had discovered these earlier, I could have saved a small fortune from the money I've spent on expensive coursework.
Fantastic book

My son in 4thh grade, and he absolutely loves this book. He spent 15-20 minutes with this book every day without asking him.The questions are very clear, and instructions are easy to follow. I have seen a big improvement in my son's grammar and spelling skills after he have done several pages of the book. I highly recommended this book to every 4th grade student.

Excellent Homeschool or Tutoring Tool
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I homeschool my kids and this is a great workbook. I use it along with The Complete Book of English and Language Arts. As we're about half way through the books, there is some overlap so you could probably just use one or the other. They have enough color and pictures to be interesting without being overbearing. The books have good explanation of each concept and then lots of practice pages so the kids can really get a good feel for each topic. Many workbooks just touch on a subject but do not provide enough daily assignments and then you have to supplement. This book is more than sufficient on its own. This would also be an excellent tool to use to help a child who is struggling in school. There is an answer key in the back. This is a nice thick substantial book. ~Note for fellow homeschoolers~ 'The Complete Book of...' line offers many great great workbooks. Some of the others we use are: Animals, Solar System, US History, Presidents and States, Dinosaurs, Science... just to name a few. They are great!
