My step-daughter was having some issues staying focused in school with reading and comprehension, so I saw this and thought it might be a fun way to peak her interest and get her grades up. She hated it at first, and complained EVERY time we had her do a couple of pages after school, but now if I tell her to do her pages, she willingly does them and understand what she's doing. It's an awesome little book, and it explains things extremely well. The last several times I've told her to do her pages, she's done it by herself and I checked her work and it was perfect. Even her penmanship has improved with the practice. I'll be ordering more for 3rd grade!
I homeschool my children and purchased this for my four year old son. It's a great writing book that covers a lot of basics while making the lessons enjoyable and interactive.
I'm an educational therapist. I love the Scholastic series of workbooks in all subject categories for my students. This particular book is great practice for standardized tests - but it also helps a student gain confidence - something often missing with students who don't think they can test well. Practice helps.
I love these books. My daughter uses them in the car for car rides to keep her busy or if we are waiting at the doctors office or to keep her busy when we are out to dinner. We have these for every subject available and I wish there were more pages per book. We power through them pretty quickly.
My son has been doing worksheets this summer to stay on top of reading and to get ready for the 4th grade. I’m sure he hates me by now. But the worksheets are working! And the stories and content are interesting which helps him get more into it. A couple of worksheets a day during the summer is what I recommend!
I bought Spectrum Vocabulary and Scholastic Success with Multiplication and Division, Grammar and Reading Comprehension workbooks for my (soon to be) third grade son. I wanted to help him be prepared for the next school year and these were a great purchase. They are full of different types of activities that students will enjoy. It also helps me to understand the type of material to expect for the next grade and what to help him with when it comes time for standardized testing. Worth the purchase and quick shipping as well.
Looks great but was surprised with how small the book was. I expected simething that would keep us busy all summer but we will be done in 2-4 weeks tops. Lessons look great though!
One of the best reading and comprehension workbooks, I've ever had. I'm a public school HS teacher who tutors in the Summer time. One of my clients, went from 1.5 grade level to 3.5. Using the reading and comprehension strategies I tough him along with this workbook and the the various rigorous activities.
As a homeschooling parent who must have been sick on the days we had grammar in school, I really appreciate this book. Fun activities and sentences. My 8 year old is really liking this book. He hasn't given me any pushback on doing pages from it. Some of the sentences aren't the most creative, but in third grade what do you expect.
I started homeschooling my two kids this school year and I bought Scholastic workbooks to use with the online curriculum we are using. I've always liked Scholastic's educational products and these don't disappoint. My kids enjoy working in all of them but their favorite is Grammar. I like the answer sheets at the back of the book. My only complaint would be that the start of the answer sheets is on the back of the last page in the workbook. I had to make a copy of the last page so I could remove all the answer sheets. I will be purchasing Scholastic workbooks again for next school year!
