Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills, Grade 5

I purchased this for my son who was entering the 3rd grade last fall. We did a couple of pages each day (usually one math page and one 'other' page). Averaged about 3-5 days a week during the summer. When he entered school, I was really glad that I did this! His brain was still 'sharp'. Another friend did the same thing with this set. It is comprehensive and for the most part well done. Would use again!

Great Product! We bought these books for our kids to study over the summer break (worked out to about five pages a day, 20-30 minutes). They were well prepared for their next grade and were both Honor Roll students. We have done the summer study programs four years in a row now...

Nice visual supports. Reading passages are at the grade level reported. I teach Specific Learning Disabled English Language Learners in Middle School and these books are the best supports. 95% of my students are able to complete the activities independently. Great tools for fostering literal and inferential comprehension as well as basic math skills. I am using these to support Language Arts and Math instruction. Students are assigned 20 pages per week. Each grade level has some repetition of subject, scaffolding instruction to a higher level.

This is a good book to use with homework assignments. My son does a page a day along with his homework and I see a difference in his grades. Great practice for the State Grade Tests. If your child needs to sharpen his basic skills, this is the book.

I have found that this book, although, not deep in instruction, is fine for review for children over the summer, so as not to forget skills learned in the previous school year.
