Summary: What your Fifth Grader Needs to know
Comment: Love all these books to supplement at home or to teach from! However, I recommend, in this particular book, there is one page that parents need to read first on the "human body and sexual reproduction" to see if it is appropriate for your child's level.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Essentially nonsense....
Comment: ...practically nothing presented in this book "needs" to be known by a fifth grader...Moorish architecture?...formula for the volume of a rectangular prism??...John Phillip Sousa???...it totally glosses over what should be essentials -- using basic logic, understanding analogies, problem solving tactics, etc...skip it.

Customer Rating:
Summary: I love your language/literature section as well as the visual arts
Comment: I am a grandparent and have used this series of books starting from "What your second grader needs to know". We are now using "What my fifth grader needs to know" It is surprising to see how my grandchildren are enjoying the "extra knowledge" over and above what they are exposed to in the classroom. If I could have a wish, I would like to see more color photographs or images rather than the black and white pictures as shown . This would be a great improvement especially in the "Visual arts section" of this book. The description of Michelangelo's David is outstanding.

Summary: Core Knowledge??
Comment: I would agree that this book (and the others like it by Hirsch) offer a basis for valuable information. However, I would warn you to supplement a literacy curriculum with other stories and authors that include cultures other than European American. Look closely at the contents and you will notice that his view of "American literate culture" is overwhelmingly European-American based. I agree that students need to learn "American literate culture," however, curriculum needs to represent the many people that make up our diverse nation.

Summary: 5th Graders
Comment: I never took the CSET test, but I plan to take it next January. This book contains everything you can imagine. It first off with a very good display of stories such as King Author. The history part was the best. It contain great information about the mayas and the incas. Also Europeon history is the best since it going into Henry II and his idea of Trial and Jury, and also King John (the only english king with the name John)with his famous document Magna carta. The math and science is good, but could be better. I just wish they go deeper into detail. It would be better if you can purchasse a textbook over these topics. Overall a vbery good book.
