Brain Quest Helps Prevent Summer Learning Loss
Preventing summer learning loss can be challenging, but Brain Quest workbooks can help your child’s mind stay sharp during the summer months.
As far as workbooks go, this is one of the best series I’ve seen. I like how it covers a bunch of different subject areas in one convenient book. The Brain Quest fourth grade workbook I purchased for my son includes:
- Spelling and Vocabulary
- Language Arts
- Reading and Writing
- Math Skills and Word Problems
- Addition and Subtraction
- Multiplication and Division
- Fractions and Decimals
- Geometry and Measurement
- Probability and Data
- Social Studies
- Science
The worksheets themselves are colorful and designed to be engaging for your child. My son is not a big fan of worksheets, but he enjoys this workbook.
I thought the writing activities were excellent. There is a page that asks your child to write a newspaper article based on a set of facts about Valdez the Vampire and a section that guides your child through the process of researching and writing a factual report about the topic of his or her choice.
In the Social Studies section, there are activities that involve researching states online or in an encyclopedia and writing about key historical events.
The back of the book includes a section with cards you can cut out to make a Brain Quest Mini Deck that your child can use to practice key skills on the go. There are also reward stickers, a certificate you can use to mark your child’s progress through the book, and a pull out world map to help with geography.
