Spectrum Books are the best for home schoolers October 20, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Spectrum Books were recommended by my child's teacher. Now I can understand why. We home school and these books are great. They self teach and are easy to understand. They are economically priced which is rare in educational books. I find that every Spectrum Book on every subject is equally as great. Not only are they valuable to home schooled kids like mine, they also are great to tutor kids in traditional schools who may need a little help. I will never hesitate to buy any book under the Spectrum name brand. They are tops. However it's my nature to be picky, so here it goes, the only thing I recommend is removing the answers from the back of the book. All the pages have been conveniently perforated. Because if you have a child like mine, he'll discover this before you do and whiz through his assignments without getting any question wrong. I'll be buying these books for years to come. I love them and it will be hard to find anything better.
Great book! March 8, 2007

The Spectrum series has very good information and activities in it. I have used the upper elementary grade books in middle school, and the middle school grade books for high school. The Spectrum series is highly recommended.
Nice book for helping students to write. July 23, 2006

The assignments are fun and you can use the
same ideas and substitute something appropriate for the
particular student.
The lessons are also sequential which makes them effective in
helping the students to put their thoughts down in an organized
manner and then write from there.
