Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

There's nothing CJ the frog and his pal Edison the firefly like more than traveling around and having adventures, even if it's only in their clubhouse. Join this cheerful pair as they delve into phonics, reading and writing, prefixes and suffixes, parts of speech, social studies, time and money, math, science, and lots more. Whether they're finding their way out of an underground maze littered with objects with long vowels, packing a backpack full of nouns, or matching pictures of animals with their hibernating habitats, CJ and Edison are always having fun! In this curriculum-linked, classroom-proven workbook series from JumpStart, each 320-page workbook contains an entire year's worth of exercises, with three different color-coded skill levels for "jumping" ahead. In the second grade edition, every page has a new, developmentally sequenced challenge for the young learner. Reward stickers and Certificates of Completion reinforce children's sense of accomplishment as they help CJ and Edison solve their problems. The workbook includes answer keys, 120 full-color stickers, and a URL for the JumpStart Web site. (Ages 7 to 9) --Emilie Coulter

Our older children used this series and now our youngest is enjoying them. These are still our favorites of the many workbooks available. I like that the instructions are clear with puzzles, characters and challenges making the material fun. Our kids love filling up the sticker charts as they complete sections. The Jumbo Workbooks cover a broad range of skills and everything is in one easily-kept-track-of book, which I appreciate. When the book is complete (which takes a number of months) we celebrate with cake and candles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for some summer brain fun!, June 27, 2005

This review is from: Jumpstart 2nd Gr: Jumbo Workbook (Paperback)

I had purchased this book for my 6 year old son. I wanted to encourage brain power through the summer months. This is great for afternoons that are too hot to play outside. I love the pull-out pages. I pulled all the levels out and grouped them together for "level" books. He completes one level in about a week or so working at his own pace. I read over the instructions with him on each page and make sure he understand what he is doing. Fabulous book for some parent/child time!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Way to Learn All the Basics in Second Grade!!!, December 21, 2004

My six-year-old sister (Rhiannon) is in the 1st grade and she is having a little trouble with her math skills. I recommend this book as a tutor to help her out in all the second grade subjects. I bet others will treasure this workbook as an aid to help out their child aged six through nine either in 1st grade or 2nd grade. When I first browsed its pages, I found out that CJ and Edison loved having adventures with help from children working hard and earning reward stickers for their hard work, just like earning reward pieces for carnival rides in Jumpstart Artist. Of all the books I have read and found really cool, adventurous, or even funny, this workbook is the best!
