Summer Bridge Activities Kindergarten to 1st Grade Workbooks, K-1 Activity Book With Math, Reading Comprehension, Science, Fitness, Social Studies, Writing Practice, and Flash Cards (Volume 2) Paperback – January 25, 2015

I loved using this workbook with my daughter over the summer! It was the perfect way to keep her skills sharp and make sure she was ready for the new school year. Compared to other workbooks we’ve tried, this one was our favorite — the activities were engaging, age-appropriate, and covered a great mix of subjects including math, reading, science, and even fitness. The flash cards were a fun bonus, and my daughter actually looked forward to doing a few pages each day. We’ll definitely be using the next level when summer rolls around again!

This workbook is perfect for helping younger kiddos bridge the gap between kindergarten and first grade. It covers everything—math, reading, writing, science, and even fitness activities—all in a fun and engaging way.While my kids might roll their eyes at “summer learning,” I know it’s keeping their brains active and helping them stay on track.🧠 Educational AND easy to use📖 Keeps structure in the summer🎯 Great for maintaining school-year progressDefinitely a must-have in our summer routine (even if I have to bribe them with snacks to do a page or two 😉).

Great activity book to keep my kids on track during summer break! With fun activities that also help them practice all subjects it’s an easy way to make sure they don’t forget everything during summer break

This book is an excellent tool for parents to use with kids during the summer. It doesn’t take a lot of effort or time to complete the pages but adds so much value. Love these books for my kids!

Great way to kick you toddler knowledge over vacation

It was such a practical easy to use book to keep my son engaged in learning and refreshing his knowledge during the summer break. Great tool to fight the summer slide. It was kid friendly and truly short and sweet so the kids got through it quick and didn’t cry about having to do it. Will be buying every year!

Great way to keep kids writing and reading as well as math for just a short amount of time in the summer.

I think that this book helped my soon-to-be 1st grader better prepared for the start of school. I also bought her the "Summer Brain Quest" (more social sciences and critical thinking focused). Of the two, she definitely preferred the other book, though I think this book might have done a better job of preparing her for 1st grade. The other one did a better job of making her a well-rounded person, since it is a bit more non-traditional, outside of the box, and just overall more fun (great stickers and a map to plan your learning activities and track progress). This one has little star stickers to mark completed lessons, but that's really about it. I also bought the 3rd-4th grade books in both series. They were pretty much identical, just at a different grade level.So, what will I purchase next summer? Probably both sets again. They each fill different niches. They both seem to have helped the kids in their classes this year. But if I had to choose one or the other, it would depend on my goal. If I wanted the kids to do better on standardized tests, then these Summer Bridge Activities series would be better. If I wanted them to be original thinkers who are better able to handle real-world learning, then I would go with the Summer Brain Quest books. So, I personally would buy the other book if I was only going to buy one of the series. But, that does not diminish the value of these books, and I will probably buy both again.
