Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Summer Scholar Grade 3

68/100
👎 Skip It

A solid, no-surprises workbook from a reputable educational publisher that covers all the bases for rising fourth-graders. It does the job it promises — math, language arts, science, social studies — without much flair. The workbook format is functional but won't thrill kids who need a reason to open it during summer.
