While the book series we reviewed is admittedly called SUMMER Big Fun Workbook, the reality is that it is a brilliantly fun and educational book that you and your child can play all year round. With that out of the way, let’s explore why. For starters, the construction of the book is superb, bright, and appealing with a nice weighty paper. Inside, your child will discover a marvelous variety of activities that will keep them entertained and engaged. Testers found the activities to be well balanced for each age, some help review already acquired skills, while others give a glimpse at whats ahead in the coming school year. Each exercise has easy instructions that, based on your child’s age, you may need to read to them. All the activities align with the school standards, and they really do cover the entire curriculum, from the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and patterns for younger kids, to code-breaking, mathematics, writing and matching games for older children, and so much more. The books even include an activity poster and stickers which children place on a progress map. There are also online activities and a certificate of achievement. Finally, one of the things parents really liked was that this workbook can be as structured, or open-ended as you would like it to be. Not unlike summer!
