Summary: Wonderful Resource!!!
Comment: My preschooler was having behavioral problems at school. One teacher said she needed to be in advanced studies and another said she needed to be held back. I had no idea where she was academically for her age. I had always relied on the school system to tell me how my child was doing and now I had two completely opposing views and a child who was unhappy in school.

I bought this series for grades preschool through second grade to determine where she fell. I used the books to supplement her education where I thought she was lacking. After four months not only was she accepted into a private school that teaches two grades advanced of standard, but they bumped her up a grade as well. She has completely stopped her behavioral problems and is happy in school again.

I would have never known what was the right the path for her, if this series had not helped me determine what a child of her age supposed to be learning.

I highly recommend this series for any parent who just wants to be informed about the educational standards and where their child falls. In addition, its a great resource for supplementing your child's education.

No one knows your child as well as you do, but you have to have the knowledge to make decisions. Without knowing what your child should know, how can you really be sure how well their doing?

In addition, I completely disagree with some reviewers who have claimed the books are racist. I was impressed with the multicultural approach of the books. The history section made a point to include important minorities, including women, asians, blacks, hispanics. The literature section included stories from asia and stories about slavery and women's rights. We did not studies those in school when I was growing up. I thought the book was well balanced.

If home schooling, I thought it made an excellent guide, but it doesn't claim to be a tool as your only resource. It would certainly need to be supplemented, but it provides a great guide for the topics that you would need to cover.
