Summer Learning HeadStart, Grade 7 to 8: Fun Activities Plus Math, Reading, and Language Workbooks: Bridge to Success with Common Core Aligned ... (Summer Learning HeadStart by Lumos Learning)

I am beyond thrilled with this book! I wanted something that would give my son review for only reading, math, and language skills but wouldn't have too many problems for him to do in a day so that he would stay motivated. To be honest, most rising 8th graders don't want to do school work during the summer. But I at least have fighting chance to get him to complete this. There are only about 8 to 10 total problems per day including math, reading, or English skills, but the problems are age appropriate. Looks like the activities rotate, usually including only two of the subjects and not all 3 each day, which is fine. Perfect for my son, who becomes exhausted with doing extensive amounts of work. Looks like the standards are covered and the focus is on quality not quantity. There are still about 3 - 8 because of the reading selections pages per day and 10 weeks worth. Since the reading selections are so thorough I won't need to require my son to do extra novel reading to keep up his skills over the summer. I also can't wait to use the online support features, which were designed for distance learning support. PERFECT! JUST PERFECT!

My 12 year old daughter enjoyed this workbook. We have tried a variety of workbooks, but I will say this particular workbook is the only one to offer a short story drawing that she can enter for a chance to win $100. Definitely piqued her interests to get her writing, which I thought is fantastic. In all other regards, she said the reading seems easy and the math a little more challenging. It also has little daily exercise segments that got my daughter in the habit of exercising in the morning to help kickstart her day. I thought that was great! All in all, it was a great workbook that kept her brain churning throughout the summer break! I would recommend this workbook.

I like how each day covers multiple subjects. The explanations are helpful, especially with common core math. Great series to keep kids engaged while out of school

I ordered this book for my granddaughter who is finishing 7tj grade and entering 87h grade in August. She is exciting about having the opportunity to revise 7th grade before she begins the opportunity to learn the new materials.

I loved that it came with answers and explanations. I’ve been out of school a while so it helped us both.

Good for my 7th grader going into 8th grade. Not so happy about the answers being on the back as my kiddo found it and used them as a “resource” had to have a talk about figuring things out on your own lol… wish they could provide the answers separately for parents.p

The long reading passages, and poems are a great way to keep the reading skills sharp. The questions at the end of the write up ensure my child was actively reading and understanding. The math is on point with ratios, fractions, and geometry. The work book is broken down by day and week so it is easy to stay on track for completion at the end of summer. I would recommend.

Helped get my grandson ready for grade 7th and 8th

good quality

We live in France. I bought this workbook to help my son study the American curriculum alongside his French school programs. His English teacher is nice enough to allow him to work on this book during class as he's fully bilingual and what they study is "boring" to him. At home, he works daily on the online Lumos site and tracks his progress. I am pretty satisfied with this combination of products that matches our needs very well so far. We will very likely buy the next school level in a few months.

We like for summer break

Does good

The book contains lots of repeat reading comprehension paragraphs. For example, the story (Week 1 Day !) "Tryouts" that begins with "For years, Sam had dreamed of being the best tennis player in the world," appears in the studies of Week 1 Day 2 as well. I would not buy this product if I were you.
