Summer Smarts 2nd grade by Jeanne
Crane Castafero
A Useful Book
Every parent wants his or her child to do well in school. And every child
wonders what to expect when entering a new grade each fall. The Summer
Smarts series provides a bridge between grades, offering children and
their parents a way to review the previous year and prepare for the school
year to come. Each workbook combines elementary school subjects, such
as phonics, spelling, math, geography, and reading comprehension, into a
fun, age-appropriate format. Engaging motivational exercises reinforce
skills and knowledge learned during the previous school year, and a
carefully selected book section supports a literature-based approach and
suggests appropriate books for enjoyable summer reading.
Personal Review: Summer Smarts 2nd grade by Jeanne Crane
Castafero

The collaborative and thoroughly 'kid friendly' effort of experienced
elementary school classroom instructors Jeanne Crane Castafero and
Janet Van Roden, "Summer Smarts: Activities In Math, Science, Language
Arts, And Social Studies To Prepare Students For 2nd Grade" is a
workbook compendium of fun and educational activities, puzzles,
exercises and quizzes which are based on standard school curriculums,
reinforce concepts and skills covered by achievement tests, build
confidence and self-esteem for children about to enter the second grade.
Children will engage in such skill building activities as addition and
subtraction, number values, vowel sounds and rhyming, reading and
writing, American history and geography. Simple projects and science
information will encourage children to explore the world while providing
literally hours of self-guided learning. "Summer Starts" is especially
recommended for Summer School curriculums, home-schooling parents,
and for use as a rainy day activity source, long car trips, and 'quiet time'
recreations.
