Format:Paperback
This book is a nice introduction to kindergarden work. I'd particularly recommend it for kids who already like doing "worksheet" type activities. My son's older brother has started the 45h-5th bridge activity book, so both signed the contracts in the beginning-if they complete 20 days they get a trip to the toy store, and both work on their books at the same time. This is no substitute for interactive learning, or playing, or reading to them, but keeps skills from getting rusty, and in the case of my pre-kindergardener gets him thinking about the sorts of things he'll be doing next year.

My oldest son used the Summer Bridges books between kindergarten and 1st grade. Completing only one or two activities a day helped keep him sharp on new skills he had learned in kindergarten and prepared him for the next level. We enjoyed them so much we ordered 1st to 2nd grade for this summer and also for his younger brother pre-K to K. What I like most about the pre-K to K is the simplicity of exercises. Simply exercising dexterity is so important for rooting good writing ability. My son is only 4 and will be completing one more year of preschool before attending kindergarten, but he is already practicing tracing lines and letters. Also...we order all three available books for my oldest son..Math, Reading, and Activities. The pages are bright and interesting. All activities should take 10 minutes or less. They are simple review mapped out for moms and dads. Also in each book there are summer reading lists which are book titles appropriate for age and reading level. The children can then, after reading the book, score it according to how well they liked it. Excellent, excellent product. These books will be used in our home every summer!!!

This book is not teaching my son anything new but he enjoys it. The book is what it says a review of what they did the year before. I like it because its not difficult for him and he can breeze right through. He does enough work so he doesn't forget what he's learned and each day is very short so I don't lose his attention. The incentive contracts is a great motivation system.

I have been using this series with my children for the last few years...I love it. Their teachers are always impressed with the amount on knowledge they retain over the summer!! I highly recommend this series.

not enough variety (P-K version)... ones for older kids are good though
August 14, 2009
Format:Paperback
My daughter (5 1/2) typically loves workbooks. But, this one (P-K edition) was too much of the same thing over and over. There is definitely not enough variety. The counting pages were not at all interesting or challenging for her. I have found other workbooks for this age group hold her attention without issue. This one does not.

This is a wonderful summer workbook to continue summer learning before my daughter starts kindergarten in the fall.

This product is a great way to keep the children up to speed with their learning over the summer. It prevents summer lag. We just work for 30 minutes most days and the kids keep their brains active. The kids also enjoy this so much that they want to work in the book

Although my order went MIA and never made it to my doorstep, I've used this book two times before, for my two oldest. They always loved them! I used it in the Summer months to keep them thinking. Colorful and it has fun incentives. Sometimes they'd want to do more than the couple of pages I tore out for them. No complaints there. I like to talk through the work with the kids so you can cater to each of their specific strengths and weaknesses. I found that once we got to 6th grade, my kids outgrew the books.

Great learning tool
My four year-old daughter really enjoyed this activities book, and I could see her learning while still having fun. She kept asking me if she could do more of her book!

Used and should be in a yardsale.
This person should not have sold this book on Amazon. They should have given it away or sold it in a yardsale. The book was worn and the pages were written in by a kid already. Read more
