Summer Brain Quest: Between Grades 4 & 5

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 workbook has been so successful that I've been moved to write a review when normally I never get around to publishing my appreciation. I've established a tradition with my kids on school breaks/holidays of them completing daily a number of workbook pages equal to their age. So my 4th grader needs to complete 9 pages a day if he wants access to electronics later in the day. My kid usually gravitates towards math so I wasn't sure what sort of resistance he would have to the other subjects. He grasped the concept of achievement stickers on a path really quickly and dove into the pages! Each page is a bit challenging yet short enough to not get too frustrating. Each leg of the quest includes ELA, math, social studies and science. There's also some additional bonus parts like outside quests, suggested reading lists and trivia flash cards. It takes my kid 30ish minutes to complete a leg of the quest (6-12 pages) so its not torturous, but feels like a little moment of intellectual exercise each day. It made such an impression on me that I turned around and got the K-1 version for his little brother even though we are well stocked with other workbooks at that level. I expect this will be a hit (or at least less hated than others if your kid is resistant) for all 4th graders.

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.

We do these each summer, this was the most challenging yet but it’s always fun to see what Brainquest is going to come up with

Definitely recommend to help your child not loose some of the knowledge she learned the previous year. Recommend to purchase one for each summer with the grade appropriate grade.

Great option for kids! Loved the path and stickers and kiddo liked the colors and images.

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.

Useful

MI hijo estuvo batallando al cierre del ciclo escolar con algunos temas, y este libro presenta actividades en forma de juegos, con un mapa de ruta que le da un sticker cada que termina una actividad. El contenido está muy completo de acuerdo a la metodología K12 de EU que es la que llevan colegios bilingües en Mexico

These books are great. They are colourful, at grade level, have a lot of different types of activities in them, and keep kids engaged. Maybe they are on the pricier end of things but they are worth it.

Ottimo libro estivo per ragazzi, mia figlia che trova noiosi i libri italiani per il suo livello è stata molto soddisfatta. Naturalmente tutto in inglese, pieno di giochini e quiz... Una sfida se avete bimbi curiosi e un po' più avanti rispetto al loro livello in quarta elementare

Good!
