User Submitted Summer Bridge Activities: 3rd to 4th Grade ReviewsJune 23, 2008 excellent work for your kids over the summer!!!! excellent tool for reveiwing for the summer. for the most part, the summer bridge books follow the curriculum that my children learned during the school year. if you are looking for something for your kids to work on over the summer, check these out! January 8, 2008 Nice summer tool for review. I have used the Summer Bridges workbooks with my children for several years. The review is very nice for them, and working with them helps me to know where they need extra help. I ask them to do one page of "morning work" from the book each day. They have ADD, so some days it takes all morning to get it done. Unfortunately, my children hate doing the work. It is difficult to convince them that it is worth their trouble. I'd love to hear ideas for making it a little more fun. July 21, 2007 Well thought out work book My soon-to-be 4th grader has been working through the book this summer, and we have found it to be very rewarding. The math and reading exercises are age-appropriate and he has enjoyed doing them. I also like the suggestions for other activities through the summer. Just remember to remove the answer pages before leaving your child alone with the book! Normally we worked through the book together but one day I left for a few minutes, and was surprised by a fast and perfect completion of the day's work! July 12, 2007 Great Summer work books I have been using these workbooks in my preschool program during the summer for 5 years now and even my son's Catholic School are now highly recommending them to work out of over the summer. I will never to with any other work book than Summer Bridges and the price was very reasonable for the size of the workbook! January 23, 2007 good..... for busy work If you want busy work for your child, these are a great series. They can do page after page on their own without much inquiring thought processes.Our school made parents buy these for the summer and I hated them! July 25, 2006 Fun and Educational My daughter has enjoyed this book. I believe it is keeping her skills sharp so she will be prepared for 4th grade. July 4, 2002 Buy these books a year ahead I bought this for my grandson and granddaughter, who have just finished the third and fourth grades, in hopes it would help them keep up the skills they learned and get them a little ahead for next year. I also bought the 1-2 for our just-finished first grader. Having observed what it took to get our oldest grandson through the school system and prepare him to compete for the best colleges (he won a scholarship to West Point), and having raised and educated four children of my own, I'm probably (dare I say it?) more qualified than a teacher to judge what's best in terms of academic materials. (I have also taught at the elementary level as well as in college.) This material is too repetitive in terms of lessons already learned. It doesn't provide enough new material to be interesting, much less challenging. Reading to and with them provides more in terms of education than these workbooks. They're just too easy. To be fair, the book did half of what I'd hoped. It does help them keep the skills they acquired. It doesn't, however, move him ahead. I will have to provide exercises to do that on my own. The competition for top-notch colleges today is fierce. It will probably only get "fiercer" in the future. I'll be looking for -- and developing -- other sources to help my grandchildren excel in their schoolwork.
