Summer Brain Quest: Between Grades 4 & 5

Love these books. My kids don’t complain about doing these over the summer because they love how it is all mapped out and has stickers for every activity completed. As a teacher, I think it’s a great way to bridge two school years.

If your child doesnt have the instilled habit of sitting and taking time on coursework they will have a hard time with anything. However most kids don't like the idea of homework but with practice, love and practical correction they can learn, that learning doesnt have to be made more difficult. That being said, this is AN EXCELLENT BOOK.My recently graduated 4th grader loves this book. Fun articles that doesn't even seem like homework. My son constantly asks to complete more than the required pages asked pr day. Infact he wishes this could be his coursework year round. The pages are on legal size. So a bit longer than standard size paper. This book has fun activities with outside the box "outdoor activities" listened in the back. It has a treasure map in the back with stickers your student will place when completion happens on the assignment (helps students see there own progress). This is organized, colorful and fun. Has side notes for students to reference and extremely interesting topics. It really doesn't seem like traditional homework. Will be purchasing these for next summer.

This is a good workbook. I ordered for my child to keep up on some school work over the summer. It offers a fun completion tracker. The problems seem to be suited more on the 5th grade level but a good exercise if not have experienced yet.

My rising 5th grader loves it. I hav her do 2 pages a day and she willingly does more. The chart with stickers in the back helps motivate and the content is fun.

I love Brain Quest books! My oldest has used them for a couple years now. They are a great way to keep kids on top of learning over the summer break!

Our two kids love this series of workbooks. First pair of books we got in spring 2017 to use that summer.My only observation is the skipping around options can occasionally be a bit confusing (skipping around is an option for kids to elect what they want to work on by interest, but they eventually cover all aspects of the book).There are times the instructions could use a re-read (even for an adult), but generally these are good for brain stimulation. (Perhaps this observation is because it's been years since I have had to think like a 3rd grader, but really, there are a few times my daughter has asked for assistance with these lower level books K & 1st).The stickers are a GREAT motivator and outdoor activities are great.My wife got these as a summer activity to keep the kids mentally active and not feel like a chore. We both work from home, so I get to see first hand how the kids enjoy these. My daughter is advanced and was going into 3rd grade when we got the 4-5 grade book. She enjoyed it as did our younger daughter with other books in this series.We all like these so much we got another pair of books (to match their intellectual grade levels) for this recent 2018 summer. We usually have the kids do a few pages during the weekdays of summer and occasionally skip a day every 3rd or 4th day. It's easy to go at the pace your child enjoys and my little one (now 6) gets highly motivated once she gets going with these books (and that's the child I wouldn't have expected to want to do these as much.WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Great summer book! I appreciate the review from the year they just finished and some things for the year to come. It comes with a map so they can track their progress. It's a fairly short workbook, so it isn't overwhelming for your kid that doesn't want to do "learning" in the summer 😆.
