Category Description for Summer Blast Workbooks

Make sure your child is ready for the coming school year with this review series. Practice key skills in language arts and math (grammar, reading comprehension, writing, math facts and word problems). These activities offer variety and aren't just done "inside the workbook." Using art activities, games, discussions, puzzles, as well as traditional workbook exercises, your child will practice critical and creative thinking as well as collaborative skills. Books provide 9 weeks of grade-level preparation with each week's activities clearly identified at the beginning of each section. I love the provided 7-page bonus section of tips and teaching suggestion lists: necessary grade-level skills, family activities, field trips, car games, family-friendly websites and read-alouds. Appendixes include answers and college readiness standards for math and language arts. You'll also find grade-appropriate flashcards and game components to cut out and use. Note: select the rising grade level for your child. From Shell Education, these are producible for classroom use only, 128 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
