Brain Quest Workbooks are my favorite

I am a big proponent of Brain Quest Workbooks. I've been using them since my son was in PreK and now he's in 4th grade. I usually buy the following school year for him and he's ahead in school. I love the variety of subjects and I love the approach to teaching them.

We love this book.  I feel like going to school myself all over again.
I am using this for my kid.  It is so easy for me to teach concepts using the explanations in this book.
It definitely helps parents teach efficiently and teach the kids how to take test with less of a struggle.
It also lays out ground work for training a child's brain to think analytically.
So we can teach them to learn on their own and not be limited to what we teach them.
I wish we could get practice worksheets based on the material presented in this book.

I like this series of workbooks. This one is age-appropriate and covers a nice range. Yes, the superhero theme is for show, but the material inside is solid and educational for all. It's best when used to supplement school work or for a summertime academic-ish activity.

If you want to encourage a workbook-averse student to do some worksheets, give this one a try. Maybe the student will like it.

This workbook is a great companion to the book, and is perfect for assigning extra classwork, homework, or extra-credit assignments to students.  Good variety of exercises, and examples are provided for each.  You'll definitely want to buy this if you get the textbook.

I have to say I was pretty impressed with this book. My son loves doing workbooks with me, especially this one. Before we knew it one day he had done 5 or 6 lessons and fourty five minutes had passed!  We have not really stuck to the book the way it is intended but it has been a great way to keep him in engaged in this form of learning over the summer. The book is very well organized and includes math, reading and suggests hands on activities and even some fitness ideas. My son is a little advanced for his age and likes to step aheadin some areas but is merely on pace with others. This book allowed me to get a gage on the "trouble" spots that still needed development. I have absolutely no teaching background so sometimes knowing what to teach him is harder than teaching him. I was delighted at how easy it was to use this workbook to teach him what he did not know and really get a broad idea of his skills and areas to work on. Many of the things he did know were presented in this workbook in ways that were just different enough from the other stack that they were new and engaging. If used as intended I truly feel that each lesson is just enough time to engage in learning without feeling they are stuck with "homework". This extra ten minutes for the workbook section can be easily added to the bedtime or early morning routine without interrupting the schedule. I appreciated that the plans flowed from one to the other to make each an easy transition and that there was a really broad range of addition, subraction, phonics, counting, numbers, letters, sight words, telling basic time and more.

I am halfway through this crossword book and my brain is definitely getting a great workout!  I am 80 years old and intend to keep my grey matter in shape to the end!  :)

My kids love these workbooks. There are short stories with relevant and intersting topics with questions to answer about what they just read. Challenging yet appropriately-leveled for age.

After reading WBT For Challenging Kids, I was excited to be teaching in my classroom. My students were happy and enjoying learning. I was excited to hear about Whole Brain Teaching 122 Amazing a Games. I knew I had to have it, and was I right. This book is a great addition to the first book. As this book has 122 games (academic, classroom management., and just plain fun), that I can use in my classroom. For example, I know that with the scoreboard game (which you use all year) my students will not get board with all the variations the offer.

I have "Maw Maw School" with my grand children ages 4 and 6..  They go to public school but when they visit, which is often, I like to do fun things that also incorporate learning. This workbook was one of 2 I bought for their age groups.  It has age appropriate activities in them.  They offer enough challenge to promote learning.  Love the she sheets of stars in the back of the books, the kids love working for stars.  Also has flash cards in the back of the books that they can cut out and use for further learning use.  I highly recommend the summer bridge activity books.

A great way to do extra homework on the weekends. My son especially loves math games & puzzles and math in action sections in this workbook. Again, a great way to keep up with school program. Will recommend to everyone.

This is the 3rd "Brain Games" book I've bought for myself and I love them all.  I spotted a couple repetitions from one book to the next, but nothing to lower my enjoyment of the books.  I would also add that my 7 year old LOVES the kid's version.

My son loves this book! I like that there are countless activities to reinforce the vocabulary that is taught in the workbook.  He likes the fun pictures and games.

And the great thing is that I can even use it with my daughter.  She loves robots and animals and all of the things in the workbook, so it's not just for boys. I recommend it and so do my kids.

Wow! When I found these books I immediately fell in love. I'm a visual thinker and I love visual proofs. These books have no words but have hundreds of proofs. One proof per page. I wish I had more time to work through all these proofs. Some of the proofs take a few seconds to understand but many others take hours. These books are the real vitamins for the brain.

I've placed this book #20 in my Top 100 Programming, Computer and Science books list:

I love BQ! I have been searching for some workbooks for my little girl to use and have found that I like the BQ line the best! My daughter loves working out of these books!

I really love the pages and pictures in this one! Great for getting some planning done or relaxing with the kids. They love that I do school work too!

I am a big fan of workbooks like this so when I heard Sasha was writing one, I was excited to see the finished product. I just did the first day in the workbook and I wound up writing so much, and it felt so good. Sasha lays everything all out so simply and the questions she ask ares perfect in guiding the reader towards a better understanding - that true feeling of knowing - the principles. This feels like kind of thing I try to journal about but wind up chasing my tail in old thought-loops- but now, with Sashs gentle direction, Im not looping, Im moving forward. Its been awhile since I really vibed with something like this, and Im really excited to continue!

The Big Skills for Little Hands workbooks have been great for my 3 year old. He gets a couple of different worksheets(and a craft or two) to work on while his older brothers do their schoolwork, and it has made life much easier. While some of the other workbooks are great for tearing out a page at a time(and then throwing away later), I like this book left as is. It has the alphabet and numbers and keeping the pages is great for review purposes. There's not a ton to do for each page, and the pictures are big and colorful, so it's great for the littlest of learners.

This is a wonderful and fun workbook for younger learners. It's a nice overview of the basics.
