Summer Review & Prep Series

Description

Kumon summer workbooks focus on keeping kids' math and reading skills sharp over a long break in the summer months. Take these books with you as you travel or use them as you stay home and relax. Kumon is known for its colorful, appealing pages and academic quality. This series shows off both attributes nicely. The work is confined to two pages per day (1 page of reading, 1 page of math) so kids won't have room to fuss!

Each comes with a 45-day chart where you place a sticker (included) when you complete the math and reading assignment for the day. A bonus physical fitness activity is also included each day on the chart! I also like the extras on the chart such as the "summer bucket list," and suggested reading list with space to record the start and finish date. There is also a fold-out poster that is a visual reminder of concepts to put up in your work space. Answer keys are in the back. 96 pgs, pb. Aligned to state standards. ~ Sara

In math sections, children practice word problems, fractions, triangles, and quadrilaterals. To lay the foundation for fourth grade reading, your child will practice prefixes, suffixes, and defining words by context. A calendar, suggested reading list, and fractions chart will keep your child focused and excited throughout the summer!

Math topics include: multiplication, division, word problems, fractions, and more. Reading topics include: prefixes, suffixes, defining words by context, reading comprehension and analysis, and more.

8 1/2 x 11 inches. paperback. 96 pages. full color.
