    Great Geography!

    My 5th grader had been doing Skills Sharpener Geography since 3rd grade. It’s engaging with colorful picture, fun facts, activity sheet and hands-on projects. Even the writing portion , loves to complete them even though it’s optional.

    Solid Workbook

    This is a solid workbook with good graphics and a logical design. It's interesting enough to hold my child's attention and is excellent to turn to when I need to work with another student and can't be right there teaching this kiddo.

    Colorful pictures, just not engaging for my kids

    I really enjoy the pictures in this workbook. My kids just aren't interested in it. They will read it, but it's just not engaging for them.

    Love this!

    We've kept up with this since second grade and they're always so well put together. This one encompasses reading, writing, and computer work. My 5th grader loves it and can easily get through it without any help for the most part.
