Summer Brain Quest: Between Grades 2 & 3

I wanted to share with you a book that has been a hit in my household this summer! I recently got this summer book for my daughter who is entering 3rd grade, and it has truly sparked excitement for learning during the summer break. Despite initial reservations about keeping up with school work during the summer, this book has made learning fun and engaging for my daughter. She now eagerly looks forward to her summer school time, thanks to the interactive content of the book. One of the highlights of the book is a sticker map that helps track progress, making the learning experience enjoyable and rewarding for kids. It's amazing how such simple elements can make a big difference! I highly recommend this book for parents looking to make learning engaging and enjoyable for their children during the summer break.

Our kid is always happy with Brain Quest products. He loves the stickers and progress chart. The materials covered are relevant to his grade level. He already started the summer book while we still have so many weeks to go. He loves it that much!

Great supplementary books for homeschool education. They don’t actually teach the course- that’s up to you. But they’re fun and engaging and a great supplement to your program. My son loves these and they have stickers and fun exercises, too! Get one and see for yourself.

Being a covid year, my 8 and 10 year old grandkids didnt have the opportunity to finish the school year, so I bought these books for them to do during the summer. We found them to be challenging and difficult, requiring a great deal of instructional support and encouragement for them to get through the levels. They are NOT aligned with common core standards at all. That being said, the educational value is great- it keeps them thinking and problem solving, and gives me just what I need to pull them away from video games. They love the idea of earning stickers to put on the charts, however it would be more satisfying if the stickers were bigger and more colorful. We started on August 1st- there's no way they'll finish the books before school starts. However I feel that doing as much as we can will give them a considerable head start. I will most likely order them again next year.

I love these books! I get them for all my kids for their summer break. There is a lot of variety in the worksheets and is great for them to do a little each day, just to stay on track and review topics and skills over the summer. Love them.

My daughter just finished the first week, and we’re really impressed so far! It has a nice, thorough mix of subjects: math, reading comprehension, social studies, and more. It’s laid out in a way that feels doable and not overwhelming, which is perfect for summer. She actually looks forward to doing a page or two each day (with a little encouragement 😉), and I love knowing she’s keeping her brain active before 3rd grade starts. Definitely a great tool for summer learning!

My son is headed to third grade next year, and someone recommended this book. I love it! It has a variety of topics and skills such as short/long vowels, reading maps, and apostrophes. It includes a sticker chart with goals of finishing levels, and because the topics are so varied, it keeps my son’s attention.

My daughter did not want to stop working in this book, she loves it. She finally, after finishing 2nd grade actually enjoys more academic activities but does get frustrated if she doesn't know what to do, so I needed something motivating for her. So far the reading is a bit challenging, but the math is a little too easy. It doesn't really matter as long as she is practicing a variety of skills. The sticker map is definitely motivating for her. I definitely recommend this workbook, I may buy more from this company, or try the surrounding grade levels

As a teacher and a mother, I love Brain Quest workbooks! They help limit summer brain drain!

Fun book - appropriate for 2nd and 3rd graders.

Lots of reading and heavy on Western / North American characters and stories if your child is not famiiat (ex: raised in Europe) then may need to explain some characters to keep child engaged

It was a waste.. the other books of brain quest are better.. the transition books are not good

Exciting for kids. They also gameify the process, so it hooks them into the material.
