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)

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.

Does good

Not a good buyWasn’t interesting enough for kids

I bought this a couple of weeks ago for my 13 year old son. Honestly when I first told him I bought him a workbook he groaned. He kept lamenting that it’s summer and how could I do this to him, etc etc. When I showed him the length of the days he didn’t stop groaning but it doesn’t mind cause the sections are so short. He has to pass over a couple cause I guess he wasn’t familiar with some of the work but we’ve gone back and looked it up thru the answers in the back. I love it as a parent and well, my son tolerates it but he’s doing it without me threatening of taking away all electronics.

We bought this book in hopes that it would challenge my daughter who, in a week, starts 8th grade. The book is designed and printed by days. My daughter can tackle 5 days at a time, if not more. The daily assignments are ridiculously short, too easy, and there are errors to top it off. That editor needs to check everything thoroughly.The purchase of this book includes access to their website. There, you, as a parent, have to log on to your own account and assign lessons, tests, etc. The website is so primitive, that assigning anything becomes annoyingly tedious. I will absolutely stay away from the HeadStart books from now on. Disappointing.
