I purchased this workbook for my daughter who is eight years old. While she is completing third grade now, the third to fourth workbook had materials she had not learned in her school yet, so I opted for the second to third grade workbook instead.The workbook is structured into ten weeks of five days per week lessons, for a total of 50 lessons. Each day, children are asked to complete mind, body, and reading activities and color in a star when they have completed their 20 minutes (total) of work for the day. At the outset of the program, there is a skills assessment test for the child to take, which is about four pages total of reading and math problems. There is an answer key provided at the back of the book. However, no instructions or guidance are provided if a child struggles in a particular area.I really enjoyed the fact that physical activities are part of each day's work. This is a great way to incorporate physical fitness five days a week during the summer break. There is also a mix of cardiovascular and strength training. For example, some of the cardiovascular activities are: playing tag, tree sprints, and jumping jacks. Strength exercises include leg scissors, ankle touches, and push-ups. The Biggest Loser contestants are featured in the book and on the book's website.I also really liked the values lessons each week. The values included in this book are: honesty, compassion, trustworthiness, self-discipline, kindness, courage, respect, responsibility, perseverance, and friendship. Each value is exemplified with a role model, such as Terry Fox, Mother Theresa and Abraham Lincoln. At the close of each week's values lesson, there is a suggested reading list of three, grade-specific books for further reading.
