very good book

This book is very good to my kid. It covers not only literature and math, but science, art, history, etc as well. Both my kid and I like it.

great resource

I use this series for all the grades it is a great way to know what your children should be learning. It is a great way to know what to read to them or what to teach them. I give it to my friends as gifts. I recommend it to you and I recommend it to everybody.

Forgotten math book; test tomorrow....

Some may agree or disagree about this book, but as for my son...he is thankful for it. He has a test on the metric system tomorrow and forgot his math book. I was about to go searching online and then remembered the book. In the mathmatics section, there it was, the Metric System. It saved him from me and gave him what he needs to do well on tomorrow's test.

Great study aid for teachers taking the PRAXIS

I got this book to help prepare for the PRAXIS test for Elementary Education Teachers. I have found the book to be very informative. I have heard it is very helpful for a study aid for the PRAXIS so hopefully it pays off.

a good supplement

A must have supplement to go along with this text is the the book Damgerous book for boys. It is full of great ideas for extra curricular activies. I have an only child who is home schooled but does a lot of interacting with his friends. He needs more free,yet structured play. Dangerous book for boys offers this. I like how "What every Third Grader needs to know is formatted. It reminded me of the dnagerous book for boys.
So if you are a home schooler of a boy, or a girl look into both books.
