Level by level, the write-in DK Workbooks: Geography series offers at-home practice that kids actually enjoy—making them ideal supplements to schoolwork. Designed to support curriculum standards, this series is developed with leading educational experts to build confidence and understanding.
Each leveled workbook, for children ages 3–9, is packed with activities and challenges, offering the beneficial repetition and cumulative learning that lead to mastery. Fact boxes on each page give a simple overview of the topics being covered, review the basics, and often offer an example of the task at hand. The exercises themselves reinforce key geography topics including map reading, compass directions, continents, countries and states, borders, bodies of water, and more.
For an engaging, but gentle, introductory geography series, look no further than this fun set of books from DK! Geography is presented in short bites and fact boxes with a variety of puzzles, activities and exercises throughout each book. Students build on what they have already learned as they progress through the series. Workbook pages are two-color and consumable, though not reproducible. Answers and teacher notes are included, as is a sheet of 200 gold reward stickers to help track progress. While the standards met are not detailed anywhere in the books, they do meet the Common Core State Standards. ~ Zach
Subject matter and price.
Our daughter liked the 4th grade book she used this year so I wanted to get the next level for the fall.
It looks like it covers a lot of geographical terminology that my daughter has not learned yet.
My daughter is really starting to get into geography at school and loves it. So I thought I would buy it for her for over the Summer. It looks like it would be fun.
