Excellent Summer Activity 2007-05-13
I recently purchased this for my son. My daughter and I have been using Summer Bridge since Kindergarten. She definately enjoys the books. She asks me to purchase her one each summer! She is now finishing 4th grade and is eager to start her Summer Bridge book.
The book becomes part of our summer routine. Everyday she does her Summer Bridge page and reads for one hour. After she completes those activities, she is free to play or we all go to the pool.
The activities are fun. The each page (front and back) takes 15 minutes to 30 minutes to complete. The activities in the first two sections are designed to review the material learned during the previous school year. The last section begins to expose the student to material they will learn in the upcoming school year. The first section is 15 days, the second is 20 days and the third is 15 days. Each day the student completes one page. When the student completes each section the receive a "reward" or "treat" that their parent has agreed to in advance. I try to limit the reward to about $5 (unless they want to go somewhere educational like the zoo). In the past our rewards have included a trip to the used book store, going to Dairy Queen, or a trip to the local zoo.
Very fun! 2006-07-26
My son is enjoying this book very much. I believe it is also keeping his skills sharp.
My daughter LOVES her workbook 2006-07-11
My 5-year-old (entering 1rst grade this Fall) does this with much more energy and enthusiasm than she ever did her homework all year long! All I have to do is mention it and she's pulling it out of her desk. She's so proud of how much she's done so far (already over 50 pages), and she needs little help from me in understanding the assignments. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
If you want to help your child retain what he learned... 2004-10-04
in math and language arts this is a nice series to use during the summer break.
It may be best to buy the books a grade level or two ahead. My son worked the K-1 book prior to beginning Kindergarten. At that time, he knew most of the material in the 1-2 book; however, we liked the K-1 book better because the pages were more inviting (i.e. color).
The activities are short and simple, so they keep the information fresh in your child's mind without requiring much work. Also, higher level material is presented as your child progresses through the workbook. However, this higher level material builds on what has already been learned/reviewed so it's not perceived as being harder.
There is a contract preceeding each section where you and your child establish expectations and potential rewards. There is also a reading list which includes books available in the public library. My son enjoyed marking his progress on the contract and counting the days till his next reward.
The K-1 book is good. It is in color, and it includes a certificate that you can give your child when s/he completes the workbook. The 1-2 book is almost as good as the K-1 book, but the version that we had was not in color.
