Summer Bridge Middle School Grades 6-7

We've had these books for various ages and they are terrific. Your child does not have to feel like they are having school all summer, but they are doing enough to stay sharp and on top of their skills and knowledge. Well-organized book to use in summer and throughout the year, to review or work on specific areas.

I first purchased the Summer Bridge series for 5th to 6th grade because my son was switching school districts and I was afraid he was going to be a little behind because the curriculum in the new district was more stringent. We used this book throughout the summer to keep his skills as well as to teach skills he hadn't learned yet. My son ended up with a 4.0 and was recommended for Advanced Placement Math in 7th grade. We used it again for 6th to 7th, and again another 4.0. But I knew it was a success when my son brought home a Language Arts paper at the end of 7th grade. At the beginning of the school year, his teacher had the class write down what they did over the summer. The teacher decided to keep the papers until the end of the year. My son wrote that he enjoyed doing the workbooks because he got rewards and he "didn't forget what he learned the year before" and "stayed ahead of his class" and "got on the honor roll". Imagine my surprise!! What a great book!!

My kids have used the "Summer Bridge" books for 4 years now. They love them because it's only a page a day and after 15 days they get to do something fun with either mom or dad or both!They work for 15 days at a time in the book and then there is a reward of their choosing, (of course, mom and/or dad should agree with the reward), by the end of summer they will have finished the workbook. I loved it because they could work independently and together we can sit down in the afternoon when it's hot and cuddle up with some good books to read. It gives you reading lists for the child's age group. It is a great way for them to stay up on what they learned over the school year and gives them a taste of what they will be learning this next school year. We will continue to get "Summer Bridge", it's wonderful!

Each summer for the past 3 years my son has worked through a Summer Bridge workbook. I really feel this has helped him to not totally get out of the study habit over the summer.

I noticed that the Middle School versions of the Summer Bridge Activity books have been revised and are organized differently. I really like the way it is done now. It is organized like the Elementary Summer Bridge Activity books now. I really like the changes. The other versions were very difficult to keep track of my children's progress.
