Customer Reviews

Love this series!

My son has a mild language disorder and needs a very structured approach to stretching and exercising his receptive and expressive language. The public school does not provide enough structure or appropriate ways to practice. Homework is all over the place and the writing instruction weak. So we've purchased several of the books from the series, Writing Skills, Reading Comprehension,and Problem Solving. The books are structured, interesting and attractively illustrated. My son enjoys the stories, the lessons are clear and easy to understand. He has no problem working through most of the exercises on his own....they are wonderful and he is learning!! The answer keys are in the back and I can quickly cross check his work. I was so impressed I went out and bought their complete curriculum which is an exceptional bargain as it covers reading, spelling, math, language arts and writing skills. There is also a section of practice tests. These are ideal workbooks to supplement kids public school education.

Excellent - highly recommended

This is a really good book to supplement your child's school curriculum. The best features: 1) Pages are perforated and can be torn out to give your child just a few pages to work on. 2) There is a nice balance between "pure math" problems and "picture" problems. This keeps the child from getting bored, but also makes sure that they are learning. 3) The curriculum is well rounded and age appropriate 4) The book does a great job of teaching the math techniques through hints and examples that lead the child to solving the problems without hints. My boy works on this book every night to "charge the TV" so he can watch a Batman episode. He has been making excellent progress. We are working through the series (grades 2 - 6), so I am posting a similar review for those books.
