• I home school two boys and friends and family are always asking how I know what to teach my kids. It cracks me up, but now I can say I have a guide that tells me everything they need to know for middle school according to Common Core. We officially don't follow Common Core in Texas, but in reality the schools teach it since the kids have to take standardized tests that follow it.
  
  These guides are great! I read them to my 4th and 6th graders and then supplement with YouTube/history channel/etc videos and books with photos. It is nice to know that I am covering at least the minimum they need in case they ever have to go to public schools. God forbid. ;-)
  
  I think these books explain things well and I like the questions at the end of each chapter. These are really a great resource for homeschooling. I personally am not a fan of paying big money for curriculum, so these books are a valuable and affordable resource.
• My 7th grade daughter absolutely loves this whole series and so do I! She is homeschooled and learns easily but gets bogged down sometimes by curricula and regular textbooks. These study guides have been a great way for her to learn the important information and retain it. We currently use the entire series as her "spine" for learning after using a plethora of curricula choices (online, classical, unit studies, you name it) in the past. She reads the chapter as an intro, then we research in other sources as needed (sometimes completing additional projects as well) and then she completes the quiz at the end of the chapter. We use the Math book along with ALEKS online math but the other books are a great scope & sequence for middle school students along with a few other supplemental materials. Her standardized test scores have increased drastically since we bought these books last fall, yet she feels like she's in control of her education and able to dive in deeper to the subjects as she wants/needs as part of our interest driven educational philosophy.
• Every parent should invest in this book for their middle schoolers, as a Science Teacher I can attest to the fact this is complete and written in an easy to understand format
• Bought for my gifted son who’s going to be in middle school next year.He knows most of this and really helped to learn what he doesn’t now.Only issue I have had that with the Reproductive system,Heridity and Genitics.If your kids are so smart,after reading those chapters,they will know or will make them very curious about something that they’re not supposed to know in this younger age.I didnt let my son read those 1 or 2 sentences yet because I explained most of the process other than main part.I know he’s not convinced but good thing is that he’s not really interested in biology yet.I added a picture of those pages which I’m worried of.As a parent,If you are not ready to talk about that,beware of these pages.I hope the pictures I attached here will help you get an idea what I’m talking about.Otherthan that,it’s a must have for simple and easy reference.Thanks👍
• As a homeschooling parent, I have reviewed and used MANY different books. Me and offspring both really like this book. It has bright colors, graphics, and is very visually appealing. It is laid out very well, as far as the sequence of learning. We got this to use as supplemental a study gude, but we both like it so much that it is now her primary class book.
• I bought it for my 7-yr old (along with the math book), to introduce him to more concepts before he moves to middle-school, just to trigger his interest. Since provides a way to check some pages before buying it, I was able to see the format & content was quite nice. We received the books yesterday and I have very pleased!
  The books are quite thick and cover more topics than I imagined a middle schooler would (I'm from France and I do not remember covering that much in middle school).
  In particular, I appreciate the format of the book, the tone/colors/fonts used, and the fact that it is a very recent print. As an astronomer, I was delighted to see a reference to the probable Planet 9 or Planet X that has been suggested only very recently!
  
  In the end, it might be a bit too much info for a 7-yr old, but I am sure he will read some chapters here and there since they are usually very short. It is even a very good refresher for me, for topics I haven't seen in a while.
• I purchased this book for my daughter who is going into the 7th grade and it is even better than we'd hoped.
  
  The book is full of clear, concise information written at grade level and presented in a fun, easy to use fashion. There are plenty of detailed explanations coupled with fun illustrations, graphs, and overviews.
  
  The book covers a wide variety of science and based on what was covered in my daughter's science class last year, the information lines up just about exactly.
  
  What I like most is how engaged she is with the book. She finds the information she needs easily and it is detailed but brief, much better than a questionable google search for sure. The author and designer of this book went to a lot of trouble to understand what would interest, compel and educate a modern middle schooler.
  
  This complete set is a must have for any middle school household.
• Great book. Attractive enough to make you want to pick it up and read it. The graphics are colorful, the font is clear, and the highlights and titles are in bold print. Chapters are color coded. Check Your Knowledge questions and answer page included. Contents list all the units and it's coverage. What makes this book stand out from all the others is that it includes all the important information broken down in easy to understand text and simple to read maps. It's all you need to know and that's it. There are a total of 5 subjects in this series they include Math, Science, English Language Arts, World History, American History in the series and we have all of them. This is definitely worth the investment. Parents will find this book and series simple to explain to your child and/or read with them. Nothing complicated. Buy this book and the others in the series. I highly recommend it.
