What Your Fourth Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Fourth-Grade Education (Core Knowledge Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The "What Your Nth Grader Needs to Know" books are a narrative of the information your child should know separated into sections such as:
World History
American History
Science
Geography
Fine Arts
Math (list of what they should know)
English (list of what they should know)
Literature (excerpts, poems, sayings, stories)
The writing is wonderful! It flows. It's interesting. It is not dummied-down! My 4th grader (an average reader) reads it out loud so I can help with vocabulary. My 6th grader reads it independently. Unlike books aimed at students, these books are good reads for adults. I finally got interested in history!
The only drawback for homeschoolers wanting to use these as texts is that there are few if any activites or review questions included. However, you can get the Redwood Games worksheets that go along with the books (free) over at http://www.maui.net/~redwood/hs.html.
For homeschoolers, one need only add a math book and the worksheets. For parents of public school kids, these books will be an eye-opener in evaluating your child's education.
