Summer Bridge Activities(r), Grades 1 - 2 [With Punch-Out Flash Cards]

I am so happy I bought this for my daughter going into 2nd grade. Each page just picked right up with things she'd been doing in 1st grade - but not overdoing it! This book was just right to keep the brain thinking, and yet the pages only took 10-15 min to complete. Great buy!

My husband started my son with Summer Bridge in kindergarten. He is now going into 7th grade. He's always done very well in school (straight A's) and I think SB keeps his mind fresh. We started our daughter on SB last year. There are activities for all subjects and some use of the internet is needed for research for the older kids. SB also suggests age appropriate books for your child to read. The answers are posted in the back of the book to check your child's work...let's face it, we've been out of school for a while!

I have tried every home curriculum book I have ever seen. This one is the best. My children can sit down and read the directions and complete the pages without my help. Each page has a reasonable amount of work problems on it. My children are oth working in the book that is for their own age. They do not find it challenging but Iam only looking for a review for them, not for them to be learning new information. We do not use the sticker/motivation program because I expect my children to do some work every day and I don't like them to think they need a reward for completing it.

I've bought books in these series for 2 summers in a row now. They are a great way to keep key educational elements alive for your child until they go back to school, without overwhelming them with work during summer vacation. Each day has an assigned lesson and they take 10 - 15 minutes top to complete. There is a reward system so that you can set up a treat or prize if they complete a certain number of days. My daughter really liked these.

This series of activity books was recommended to me by a Special Education teacher last year. This is my second year using them and I have found them to absolutely wonderful and helpful. They offer grade level activities that emcompass the major areas that children need the reinforcement in during the 'off school' period. The activities are challenging but not overwhelming. My children find the books to be fun and have entered their respective grades with higher levels of confidence because they haven't forgotten anything over the summer. Their self esteems and performance in school are definitely higher because of these books. I highly recommend this series to any parent.
