Category Description for Summer Books
Recently revised (other than book 8) and now available in the third edition, we are once again pleased to offer this quality series designed to prepare your students with the foundational teaching necessary for success as they begin their new school year.
Similar in format, each book provides fifty lessons. The lessons are expected to take 15-20 minutes, although some children may need a little longer. The engaging, colorful lessons are offered on a two-page (one page front and back) format. The first page provides review of math facts and concepts on the top half while the bottom half of the page reviews phonics/language arts skills. The back page focuses on reading comprehension and thinking skills. At the higher levels (grade 5 and up) the back page also incorporates math drills and science topics along with the other skills. (It is worth noting that the science instruction is religiously neutral.) One nice feature is that the day of the week is listed on the page making it easy to keep track of where your student should be working. Pages are also perforated for easy removal. Positive moral character traits are sprinkled throughout, and there are rare references to God (ex: book 2, Bird's Nest reprint from McGuffey's First Eclectic Reader). Instructions to the parent/teacher and reduced student pages with answers are included along with a certificate of completion. Lessons are colorful and engaging for level K-7. You will want to order the book that represents the grade your child will be entering in the upcoming school year. See below for specific book details. PB. Non-reproducible.
