4.0 out of 5 stars Summer Bridge Middle School 6th to 7th Grade, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Summer Bridge Middle School Grades 6-7 (Summer Bridge Activities) (Paperback)

This book is a great way to avoid your child feeling as though they have fallen behind or forgotten everything at the beginning of a new school year. My son has attention deficit disorder, and needed something over the summer to keep his skills and knowledge fresh. Other workbooks we have tried over summer breaks have been too overwhelming for him, but this seems to be a perfect fit. He is actually excited about working on this book over this summer. The only negative thing I would say is in comparison to "Summer Bridge" books for younger children, which to me are organized a little more logically. In those books, the child works through each page sequentially (Day 1 has a couple pages on each of the topics of math, spelling, etc.), while this book has you skip around a little more between each subject area. I really feel my son will be better equipped when the new school year starts, and not have so much catching up to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changes in new book, May 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Summer Bridge Middle School Grades 6-7 (Summer Bridge Activities) (Paperback)

I noticed that the Middle School versions of the Summer Bridge Activity books have been revised and are organized differently. I really like the way it is done now. It is organized like the Elementary Summer Bridge Activity books now. I really like the changes. The other versions were very difficult to keep track of my children's progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of his class, June 2, 2007

This review is from: Summer Bridge Middle School Grades 6-7 (Summer Bridge Activities) (Paperback)

I first purchased the Summer Bridge series for 5th to 6th grade because my son was switching school districts and I was afraid he was going to be a little behind because the curriculum in the new district was more stringent. We used this book throughout the summer to keep his skills as well as to teach skills he hadn't learned yet. My son ended up with a 4.0 and was recommended for Advanced Placement Math in 7th grade. We used it again for 6th to 7th, and again another 4.0. But I knew it was a success when my son brought home a Language Arts paper at the end of 7th grade. At the beginning of the school year, his teacher had the class write down what they did over the summer. The teacher decided to keep the papers until the end of the year. My son wrote that he enjoyed doing the workbooks because he got rewards and he "didn't forget what he learned the year before" and "stayed ahead of his class" and "got on the honor roll". Imagine my surprise!! What a great book!!
