This is a fun summer book, but the answer key and the pages have errors on almost every other page. The curriculum is relevant and the activities are good, but the typos and errors make it hard to correct easily, and causes frustration when it is marked wrong and then is actually correct. I like the fact that is incorporates values and fitness into each day. Just wish someone went through the book and made sure it was all correct before printing it!
I have purchased these books for my grade school kids for two summers. I love that they are encouraged to use theirs minds, bodies, and hearts with the assignments. I love how my kids are excited to open their workbooks each day because it's fun and quickly done instead of complex. I love the online videos to demonstrate the oddly-named exercises. I love that each week they set a weekly incentive for themselves, a reward for a job well done (and I love that I am not obligated should they fail to complete their tasks). I love that they are learning about real people that represent values I want instilled in them.I love these workbooks! MOSTLY.What I don't love? The mistakes and typos. Anyone heard of a vegetable called cucubbers? And imagine my daughter's frustration when she couldn't find a state with the capital as Omaha (because Nebraska's capital is Lincoln). Some of the questions are awkward for the grade level's understanding and could be better worded.In my opinion, there is no excuse for a series of books to have the glaring mistakes these books hold. How are kids suppose to learn properly when the materials are so flawed?
I love the series of Summer Fit books. This year I purchased Summer Fit Third to Fourth Grade: Math, Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Fitness, Nutrition and Values.I've purchased this series of books every summer for 3 years now, to review old material and expose my son and prepare him/ us to new material to come. I like how easy it is to use, the reward system, the fitness aspect, the value lessons and of course the material that prepares us for next year. It has an assessment test in the beginning, which I like, so I know what we need to practice and review. It has 10 weeks worth of work, which is perfect for the summer. My son has really enjoyed working on these and we will even go to the library and lookup suggested readings for the week. An excellent workbook and I would highly recommend. I can't speak for the editing problems, as we have not yet started the workbook this year. I will update my review, if I find the editing issues to be too annoying. See photos for some example pages.This product was a personal purchase for myself at the normal retail price. I am reviewing it solely because I want to share my experience with other potential customers. I have received no compensation for my review nor do I have any relationship with the seller or manufacturer of this product.
Like another reviewer stated, we received a slightly different 3rd-4th grade book then the photo shows. The book I received was a third edition (2016 copyright). It does not follow a weekly schedule, but instead goes thru a ten day rotation (day 1, day 2,...day 10. Then day 1, day 2,...day 10.) I'm not sure why they went with ten day rotations instead of a weekly rotation, but it doesn't really bother us. I am very impressed with the book! My son does not enjoy school work, but this book is laid out in a manner that is challenging yet not frustrating. A little math here, a story there, write a book report, learn some core values, dabble in history, chart some numbers, journal about your week, exercise, do a science experiment, participate in any of the listed family or individual activities, and your golden! My son views it more as a summer activity book, rather then a learning book. I love the list of activities and family time activities that they list. It's not easy to think of things for your kids to do 24/7, and all the suggestions are things that cost no or very little money. (Ex. Learn to juggle, write a silly poem, drop crumbs by an ant hill and see what happens...) I'm a little disappointed that only some of the rotations include suggested reading lists, I was really looking forward to using those every week. I mean I can look up books on my own, but it would have just been easier to just use their list. I'm just lazy like that. ;) We have purchased other summer workbooks before, but Summer Fit is by far our favorite. I highly recommend!!!
My wife and I got this for our new fourth grader. We wanted him to stay sharp over the summer. We ha tried other books during previous years but this one has been the most successful. This particular book requires that the parent be involved it the lesson each day by engaging parent and child in character building conversation. Things like courage and faith. It's as good as you make it. It also has a little physical exercise to accompany each lesson. If you son is like mine it's good to give something to do to get the wiggles out before the book portion.
I order these every summer for my kids to help advance to the next grade. They love it great instructions plus exercise activities as well as well known history, science and math facts it is a great learning system for my child going into the next grade
