Dear Parent/Guardian,
The education of our children is more important than ever before. For the approximate price of two movie tickets, you can give your
child a summer of continued learning. Studies show that much of what is learned during the school year is lost over the summer months.
For the past 18 years our Summer Review Books have provided millions of students with a comprehensive review of materials taught the
previous year.
With educational demands continuously changing, children need not only a review that keeps current with State and National Standards,
but also gives them an academic edge and self-confidence when they return to school in the fall.
Our easy-to-use Math, Language Arts and Foreign Language review books serve this purpose. Taking only 15-30 minutes three times per
week over the summer, our books provide a succinct review that is not overwhelming.
Generally the grade level just completed is ordered; however, you and your child’s teacher can best determine what grade level would
be most suitable. For more information visit our website at: www.summerskills.com
