Summer Learning HeadStart, Grade 6 to 7: Fun Activities Plus Math, Reading, and Language Workbooks: Bridge to Success with Common Core Aligned ... (Summer Learning HeadStart by Lumos Learning)

These books are great for bridging the gap between the grades. By continuing to do things over the summer helps my children when they start back in fall. The lessons don't take much time to do and if the kids focus, they can be done in 5-30 min for the day's material (depending on if it's reading or not). The online portion is also helpful to get the kids used to navigating websites and answering questions online. There are a couple of typographical and content errors I've noticed, but to be fair, that's with pretty much every book and parents should be engaged anyway to go over material with their children. I also would like to see the answer sheets be the tear out kind, so we can remove them easier.

I bought this for my kid to keep busy and also to review what was learnt during the last school year. It has been great. It's a review of skills and also challenging them with new concepts. This book fills the gap both in English and Math. The weekly picture and essay challenge kept the kid use this book everyday. The online modules are another way to enrich the summer break. I would recommend all the parents to use this book.

Helping grandson review 6th grade, preparing for 7th. Good variety of subjects and not overwhelming weekly lessons.

I love this book It is only few pages per day. Nothing stressful that make kids feel overwhelmed.Doable in short time and kids still keep up with the academic skills through the summer.I will use a grade up book for extra challenge next time.

I bought this for my daughter for summer enhancement. It has been great. It's a review of skills and also challenging them with new concepts. Not just math but reading comprehension which is awesome. Would highly recommend to keep kids engaged over the summer and not on their devices all day.

MehI purchased this book because Brain Quest doesn't have a summer edition for 7th grade+. Needless to say, we were quite disappointed. We've also used Summer Bridge in the past and had settled on Brain Quest for it's quick, approachable, colorful lessons with the ability to track our progress in the back of the book.It's hard to get a Middle Schooler excited about continuing Ed in the summer. It's even harder when there is no color or interest drawing the student into the book at all. It's harder yet when a very simple word (diary is spelled dairy) is spelled wrong on the first page. The lessons are labeled by week and day instead of level and lesson (level one, lesson 1 in others this one is Week one, day 1). The reading selections are also repeated on several days. We'd rather read it once and answer several questions than read it 4 times and answer one word or phrase questions each time, waste of paper.It lost her interest within seconds. In her opinion "It looks like a standardized test for the whole entire summer". She'd rather do a large Brain Quest book than spend the summer trying to get interested in this one.

This is a really good book for homeschooling. The section that me and my kids love the most is the part that teaches American Sign Language. I am learning and teaching them letters. The letters are the hardest but the numbers are very easy especially from 1 to ten. I loved teaching them to ask for " food, more, drink, please, thank you" I am learning colors and trying to teach them that as well. It's a good book if you have good student who will listen to you.

I bought this for my son who is going into 7th grade. Daily activities for 5 days each week. It doesn't take my son too long to complete but it's great review on the things he's learned so he doesn't lose them over the summer.

I got this for my son. He loved learning with it. Clear and relevant concepts

Wasn't for Australian curriculum. Suits American curriculum. The sign language section is American, not Australian. Should be marked as American it's of no use if you are following Australian curriculum standards.

The answer key is at the back of the book and I would love to see it be perforated pages so they could be removed while the child is working on the book - what kid is not tempted to look!?We are 2 weeks into the book and they are a great mixture of math, English and Language Arts. I personally love the answer key that is very self explanatory for the kid and parents. I have not had to google an answer yet!

I do not like how random the math questions are. It assumes that all children have covered the same things in school. The questions are mathematically specific but random topics are presented. There are also grammar and spelling mistakes. I also don't like that the questions are multiple choice.
