Great for homeschooling
I use this book for homeschooling instead of online curriculum and it has made it so easy for me to give at least 3 assignments a day, check the answers in the back, and call it quits for the rest of the day.

Good
Good workbook to do over the summer to keep my 3rd grader busy & ready for fourth grade. It's really easy in the beginning because it's going over 3rd grade material but then gets more challenging as it goes.

Comprehensive Curriculum Content Area Workbook for 4th Grade Students
This is a superb series! The American Education Publishing Company has several series like this particular book, but they are not the same.The series with the animated chalkboard is far superior to the books that have the animated animal characters on the front cover.The annimated chalkboard book covers a variety of content areas that the annimated animal cover book does not. It is truly comprehensive. These books are available for grades 1-6.They contain subject areas such as reading, mathematics, english, environmental science, grammar, spelling, writing, and study skills.Whereas the annimated animal copies only have the basics: Reading, english, math, reading comprehension, and writing.So as you can see, the annimated chalkboard cover series is better geared toward meeting many more content specific skills.They are very difficult to find. When ordering them be very specific. Though the vendor pictures the annimated chalkboard series, they may very well send you the annimated animal series instead.I found my first copy of the series at the Friends of the Library book store for $1.00 and the second copy at either Sam's Club or Walmart for around $9.99.It is my go-to book for introductory materials, guided practice, overhead work, theme lessons, thematic units, independent seatwork, etc. You name it it's in these books.I had the full series, but a careless office store worker who was to spiral the book for me chopped it in half and damages the majority of the book.To replace the book costs around $30, but it's indispensable.

Thorough for homeschooling 4th grade
I'm using this as one of the books in my self-made homeschooling curriculum for my son, along with Scholastic and BrainQuest. He had some math and English gaps after moving to the US from a different country. Namely, he hadn't learned multiplication yet.I find this book very thorough and good practice for the skills I am teaching. It requires more writing than the other two workbooks, which is good for improving composition. It's colorful and more engaging than the mainstream public school curriculum we began with. Some of the assignments are more project-like than the practice workbook I expected. These may be helpful for our homeschooling purposes. Science or Social Studies are incorporated into half of the Reading Comprehension section.I have only a few complaints:- They use "not sentence" instead of "fragment".- They use "statement, question, command, and exclamation" instead of "declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory".Overall, I recommend it.

Errors but still helpful
This series is a great tool for homeschooling or extra practice. There are some minor issues: there are mistakes on the answer sheets. They are obvious, but if you go by the book's answers without mindfulness, you might wrongfully mark correct answers wrong. The book uses Ă and a few other incorrect spelling for mostly f beginning words. The use of ă is common in some other languages and long ago, but it is not used correctly in this situation. Once you realize the mistake, it's not hard to know what they are meaning. Clearly proofreading was not done or done well for these books.Aside from these issues, these are still helpful lessons. Even the mistakes can be used as a lesson in mindful work and having integrity in all we do, even the small things.
