This book, though it is suggested reading for 4th to 6th
graders, was helpful to me. Not only am I an adult, I am in
the process of getting certified to teach high school social
studies. It provided me the essentials that I must cover for
any class (other than at the college level). The page layout
is excellent; the variety in print type and color as well
as maps and pictures made it a"fun" reading and
learning experience. I highly recommend it for students, parents
and social studies teachers.
Updated to keep pace with the latest changes in teaching

This is a very concise, yet thorough look at our language. It
starts with the history of languages, the percentage of the
world population that speak the most common languages, a diagram
of Indo-European languages and which one evolved from what.
It defines terms like "semantics", "phonetics",
"phonemics", "phonics", "morphemics",
etc. It gives nine different alphabets, including sign language,
smoke signals and morse code. It gives examples of Hebrew and
Japanese. There are some very informative drawings of the mouth,
and how sounds are made.
And that's just the first 15 pages.
If you want to know what the "CAT" in CAT scan
stands for, or why we write "please R.S.V.P." on
party invitations, you can find the answers here.
This book is very nicely laid out, easy to read and aesthetic,
with nice pictures and lots of color. There is just tons of
information in this book, but it's not weighty or difficult
to understand. Unlike a typical textbook, one piece can be
understood at a time - one doesn't need to start from the
beginning and read all the way through it.
I knew this book would be useful for my kids, but when I
read the page that completely - and simply - defined "past
perfect tense", "present perfect tense" and
"future perfect tense", I was sold. I immediately
called my friend who is the head teacher at a K-12 school,
and told her she needed to get this book! (Turns out she already
has it, and uses it all the time with her students.)
This book is a great way to avoid your child feeling as though
they have fallen behind or forgotten everything at the beginning
of a new school year. My son has attention deficit disorder,
and needed something over the summer to keep his skills and
knowledge fresh. Other workbooks we have tried over summer
breaks have been too overwhelming for him, but this seems
to be a perfect fit. He is actually excited about working
on this book over this summer. The only negative thing I would
say is in comparison to "Summer Bridge" books for
younger children, which to me are organized a little more
logically. In those books, the child works through each page
sequentially (Day 1 has a couple pages on each of the topics
of math, spelling, etc.), while this book has you skip around
a little more between each subject area. I really feel my
son will be better equipped when the new school year starts,
and not have so much catching up to do.
