Summary: Excellent Resource...
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. This is a must for parents and teachers of a 6th grader (the grade level really does not matter). Categories covered are Language Arts, Geography/World & American Civilization, Fine Arts, Math, and Natural Sciences. What an excellent resource with key fundamentals in one book.

Summary: MTEL saver
Comment: This is a great book with a wealth of information for upcomming teachers who have to take the teacher tests (this is how I found out about it). There is knowledge from standard English through music and the arts. It covers everything and is great for anyone looking to increase their knowledge of education.

Summary: Fine Arts of this book only
Comment: This book was recommended to study for the CSET test for teacher licensing. I only bought this book to study for the Fine Arts and Music Section of the test. It is very easy to read, however, it is not a revised book like for grades 1 to 4. The reason I say this is because in the visual arts section, the paintings are not in color. I had difficulty trying to understand the lingo of art without seeing the color. Plus I am not a fan of art.

On page 239, the author talks about an African-American artist Henry O. Tanner and when the author writes "it would easy to imagine a story by looking at it"...I looked at it and still didn't understand the story. How can a regular person who has no experience in art be able to understand a painting?

On the same page, the author writes "light filetering in from the left makes a bright glow behind their heads, so that we tend to pay attention to this part of the painting." When I first look at the painting (black and white) I didn't notice the glowing heads...I noticed the father and son playing the banjo because they were only ones in black and white in the center of the picture! Many people have different ways of seeing art and how can an author says that "we tend to pay attention to..."?

Summary: A great basic for adding to your child's education at home
Comment: I found this book and all of the Core Knowledge Series books to be very helpful. They allow parents to see what their child should be getting in each grade and add to the classroom education at home if needed. These books are full of common sense! My daughter has been in public elementary school as well as a private Episcopal Day School and the books are helpful in both circumstances.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Absolutely Essential!
Comment: This book has completely educated me on what my eleven-year old son needs to know for his 6th year. I have read the book and can say that if everyone in the country knew everything in this book we would all be better off. As a matter of fact, I know very few adults that know one quarter of what is in this book. This has motivated me to add this to my son's daily routine. We work it together and have wonderful mom-son time alone. A book you can't do without!
