Although there have been some negitive reviews of the other grade levels in this series, I have personally found this book to be very through and helpful to my 9 year old. I thought the set up of a certain number of pages per day was convenient, and just the right amount to keep his interest. The colors and pictures are great, and the price is right! I especially like the teaching suggestions in the back of the book - giving you the option of doing as little or as much as YOU feel comfortable doing on any given subject with your child. I fully intend to continue using this series as long as I can.

It was either this workbook or summer school for my 8-year-old last year. She completed more than half the book over the summer and finished up third grade with a bang. Needless to say, we will continue with this series this summer. Comprehensive Curriculum for Grade 3 is in our cart. It's great to have such a complete book to review all subjects over the summer. All children should have the chance to stay on top of their studies. Thank you...

This book is really worth the money. It covers all the things and it is a thick book--over 500 pages. I bought it at costco for $8.49 and really wished I bought more. If I can not find it in costco in the future, I would buy it at Amazon.

If you're juggling a few children at different ages (I have one school ager and two toddlers) this book is a great find. We can tear out pages to take them on errands. Very little preparation is required, just review the directions and assist child when needed. The areas your child is struggling with will be pretty glaring, so you can make quick review lessons to takle the problem areas. Having a worksheet based curriculum allows time for bible and life-skill lessons, as well as reading time with books of your choice. My child looks forward to his worksheets. The short and flexible lessons allow him to absorb the important stuff without feeling overwhelmed (he has adhd). It's also great for his confidence to get such immediate feedback.

I am a classroom teacher and have found this book to be a fantastic resource to use with my accelerated students who always finish everything quickly. It spans the curriculum and allows them to work at their own pace and on their favorites areas first. I highly recommend this book to teachers and parents alike!

This is an excellent comprehensive book for each corresponding grade level. Though some parents will find, as I have, that their homeschool child is more advanced than they would be in public school. My children grades 4th, 3rd and 1st, are finding each of their books a little too easy, so be sure to supplement each compresive curriculum book with some additional books. For example, the "Skill Sharpeners" is an excellent series of books.

These are great books as a supplement for any homeschooled child or traditionally schooled child. The bright drawings and colored pages truly help kids to keep at it and not get so bored with the work. Trust me, I've gone through my fair share of educational books and the plain black and white ones are never chosen over the colored artistic workbooks.

This curriculum covers everything in a naturally progressive way and is divided into subjects. It is not so full of work that you have no time left for supplimenting materials you choose for your child's particular needs.

It is missing to things however. Exams would make it easier for the evaluator to determine progress, which although many homeschooling parents disapprove of, will help satisfy state's requirements. It would also be practical if the book came with a built in planner at the beginning, with more information as to how the book was intended to be used.

My kid absolutely loves this book. I have ordered this along with another which was a grade higher and she is also loving it. Now, she is asking me for more.

Great tool for self-learning!!!

I bought this for my 3rd grader. I also use it as a booster for my gifted 2nd grader. It is fun, clearly printed, and colorful. My kids don't feel fun doing it, not an "assignment".
