5 to 6 Summer Learning Workbook: The Complete Transition Companion to Help Your Child Get Ahead — Math, Reading, Vocabulary & Critical Thinking (ScholarVanta Learning Collection) by Olivera Sandina

One summer decides how your child starts middle school. Make it count. Every parent knows the "summer slide" is real. Three months off, and a rising 6th grader can lose a chunk of what took all year to learn — then walk into a bigger, faster, more demanding school already behind. It doesn't have to go that way.
