Which Workbook for Summer?

Summertime Learning from Teacher Created Resources and Daily Summer Activities from Evan Moor will be our featured books this year. Summer Bridge was the original Summer Workbook, published in 1994, and is now in its 12th edition. Last year, they introduced an online component that has been very controversial with our customers. We agree that encouraging kids to spend summer online is not a good idea. Our recommended books accomplish the same goals as the original Summer Bridge, but have been updated with current standards and encourage expansions on learning that don't include screen time.
