Good for homeschooling

I am using the Spectrum books to homeschool my 1st and 4th graders. They seem to be working very well for us.

Five Stars from A Home School Mother

The things I really like about the Spectrum series is 1. It is fairly inexpensive 2. Each page either reviews or teaches only one new concept. 3. The answers are in the back of the book so you can correct and check easily. 4. They are complete and well thought out in their ordering.

I can't say enough...

I'm homeschooling and I could go on the road with the Spectrum books. After trying several different curriculums, I stumbled across these books in the bookstore. They were an answer to prayer. There is an answer key in the back, so I haven't had to haul around a huge teachers edition. These books, all of them (we homeschool a 1st grader and 3rd grader and we use Spectrum Spelling, Writing, Reading, Language Arts, Vocabulary, Phonics, and Math) are exactly what we needed. My first grader LOVES the reading books. We ordered both, the regular Spectrum, and the one written by Mercer Meyer with the Little Critter characters. Childrens books (especially the ones written at her level) are SO expensive, and these reading books come with so many stories, and they have exercises for reading comprehension. I REALLY can't say enough. One thing I'd like to see them do? Add science and social studies/ history and geography to their mix... art and music while we are at it!!

Math Prep - Great for Overcoming Standardized Tests

You should first ensure you either coach your first grader with basic addition, subtraction and arithmetic skills. Other books, flash cards, Math Big Workbooks, Speak N Math (remember Texas Instruments) will help here. In this test prep there are examples and timed exercises. There are developmental exercises but needs parental instructions. Builds problem-solving skills they already have, so it hones or sharpens their existing skills and an answer key is included. Spectrum is the standard for standardized test preps.
