This website offers summer workbooks for sale. The workbooks are about $17 each and they offer math and language arts skill books for review over the summer. If you can carve out a little time each day for practice, these are very comprehensive. These are considered review books, so when ordering, order the grade that your child just completed. If your child is struggling with grade-level concepts, order the grade below. For example, if your child is entering 5th grade and struggles with reading, order the 3rd grade language arts book. They will still be practicing all of the important language arts concepts, but it will be at their own level, and you want them to be able to complete pages with maximum independence.
