2.0 out of 5 stars low level bridge July 22, 2011

By steve

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Had hopes that this would actually be a bridge from grade one to grade two, but the first day my daughter saw it she laughed and when I looked at it I could see why. It was too easy. She flipped to the back of the book and it was still too easy. She's not a genius as far as I know and we'll probably use it in the car a bit, but I thought I would warn others that may be looking at this book. Check inside if possible. I wish I had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Workbook for the Summer June 17, 2010

By Traveling Life VINE™ VOICE

This books is well designed. Each page of work is labeled--Day 1, Day 2 etc. This helps to keep my daughter motivated and she knows when she can stop working. Also, the work is short and in the beginning it reviews a lot of work she did in the first grade.

Recommend this to parents who want to keep their kids minds going, but don't have a lot of time to do it. The pages can be done in as little as ten minutes. I like the page labeling--my daughter knows when she forgets to do a page a day--then she can do as many as she likes to catch up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what we needed July 21, 2012

By Kerri

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Judging by the pages we could preview and other reviews we ordered "up" a grade -- using the 1st to 2nd Bridge Book for my son who will be entering 1st grade. (The K-1 book is too too easy). The pages are perforated, so I tear out 5 pages each week and place them in his "homework folder" and they are due to me on Fridays before we get an ice cream cone. He keeps the folder in the car and gets quite a bit done there. There are some things he needs help on because they weren't covered yet, but he is able to grasp them easily after a brief explanation from me(like identifying a noun or compound word or less than/greater than symbols). They can be done in 10 minutes/day, even with some teaching of new concepts, and he is making sure he doesn't lose any skills this summer as well as getting "ahead" a little. Our summer program involves this book, Doch sight words the school sent home, and he reads a chapter a night from a Magic Tree House book. Perfect amount of work for the summer months.
