Help children maintain skills while away from school with this award-winning series and original summer learning program! Daily activities in reading, writing, mathematics, and language arts with... This description may be from another edition of this product.
My husband and I get workbooks for our kids every summer and these are by far the best ones we have gotten. There is a page (front and back) for each day and every day includes some type of math skill, and reading or english skills. There is enough work to help keep the kids in practice but not so much that they feel overwhelmed. The book reviews what they learned in the grade they just completed and gradually starts introducing them to the skills they will be learning in the next grade. I think getting a taste of what is coming up makes it all just a little less intimidating and helps them get a little head start. We liked these books so much we have already purchased the workbooks for next summer!
Great workbook for summer!

We have used summer bridge now for the last 6 years every summer. My kids love the books and it is great motivation to keep learning over the summer. They really enjoy the goal setting that the books have and they like that they can choose their reward when they reach their goal. I have them do a page a day, but sometimes they want to 3 or 4 pages so they can reach their goal sooner and recieve their reward. The rewards aren't always tangible things either, sometimes it is going on a bike ride as a family, or going down to the river to swing on the rope, etc. They have learned that you don't always have to spend money to have a fun reward for work done well!! We love summer bridge!
It helps

My daughter and I have used this series for five years now. The older she gets the more she enjoys her summer studies. This book is great! It is always broken down into three sections and has reward charts to track progress. We also love the Summer Reading List in the book, and look the books up at our local library. I really enjoy the Better Bodies Better Behavior section and the flash cards as well. Each day's work and reading takes less than an hour. Definately worth the money, get it every year!

I use summer bridge every year. It is the most comprehensive book I have bought. I like that each page has a variety of subject matter and that it starts simple and gets more complex.
