They’re also convenient for on-the-go learning, making it easy to keep up with studies during car rides or while waiting for appointments.#### **Ease of Use**One of the best things about this workbook is how user-friendly it is.

I highly recommend this workbook for any parent wanting to combine learning with fun over the summer.This workbook has made our summer learning routine enjoyable and effective, and I’m confident it will be a great asset for your child as well!

These books are excellent at keeping my kiddos' brains sharp and preventing summer slide. I love that each day is assigned and the tasks are relatively quick. We've used other books in the past and we have found these to the best.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Very helpful and easy to followThis book explains concepts clearly and is perfect for beginners. The examples and exercises really helped me understand the material. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn!

My daughter is very smart but has fallen ever so slightly behind in math, so I got her this workbook mostly for the math practice, but thought it'd be more palatable with other subjects thrown in. I only have her part time, so I figured we'd do more than one lesson a day.Some cons:- So far, lessons are taking us WAY more than 15 minutes. They are very advanced and require a lot of background knowledge, some of which she does not have. For example, in the first day's math lesson she needed long division, long multiplication, order of operations, dividing fractions, and decimals.- Need additional materials - We are two days in and lessons have asked for a dictionary and atlas. We do have a dictionary, but not an atlas, and it's taken a lot of me searching to find the right types of maps on the internet.- Flashcards are random. I think of flashcards as foundational knowledge that needs to be drilled and memorized (math facts, for instance). These flashcards are just math and word problems, and thus no more useful than the worksheets, though I suppose some kids might like the different format.Pros:- Like having it divided by day, even if it's taking 1.5 hours instead of 15 minutes.- Enjoy the mix of activities so it's not too much drilling of one thing and lets her have easier and harder lessons

This is a great activity book to help keep your child stay mentally active when out of school for the summer. Over the years we have purchased a few different Summer Bridge books for our daughter. These books are not meant to be a full school curriculum, but instead a way to keep children mentally active during the summer break. Each summer we do our best to keep skills active and minimize the loss during the extended break. While we sometimes mix in other work to help her to increase skills, we are more worried about the atrophy that happens when not in school. It can be tough returning to school after 3 months without any schoolwork and we try to help her keep topics fresh without filling her summer with full days of 'school' work.As with other books in this series, this is a solid mix of skills with some being easy and others more of stretch. The difficulty level will likely depend on the schooling your child got during the academic year. I suspect most kids heading into sixth grade will find much of the work in this book at least a strong refresher and potentially give them a nudge in some areas. The exercises are organized to be a roughly 15 minute daily regime but you may decide to enhance it with other work if your child has areas that need more attention (i.e., add in more math or spelling activities). This book is not deficient in an area, we just occasionally add a little extra for topics that we feel could use a bit more work while still keeping the total workload to around 45-60 minutes per day. The Summer Bridge Activities book is a constant though with at least one page used almost every day and the other work rotated.

This is a great book for all the activities you are absolutely going to get done this summer!

Bought this for my son and even though he was reluctant he did a few pages a day. Now that he's back in school he's said it really helped him so he doesn't feel as lost as some of his classmates. It was a great tool to keep his mind fresh on his studies all summer without over whelming him at the same time.
