Spectrum Complete Learning + Videos Workbook: Volume 68 Paperback – 11 Mar. 2022

This review is part of a Carson Dellosa product review program. I review the product provided to me free of charge. Opinions are my own.At first glance, a typical workbook, but this is SO MUCH MORE! Sections include helpful definitions and explanations. There is a QR code that you scan with your smart device. The code takes you to a short, engaging video explaining the activity to be completed. The video moves pieces, makes difficult concepts come to life so students can see how they work. The introductions can be done together with an adult or independently as review. The photos are color and high quality. The quality you for would expect (or better) for the price. Pages are perforated so they can easily be removed or kept in the book depending on preference or need. So many concepts are covered too. Anything you could need for grade 3!

This review is part of a Carson Dellosa product review program. I review the product provided to me free of charge. Opinions are my own.As a parent and teacher who is looking to make sure my daughter is continuing to learn throughout the summer, I am happy to have been provided this resource. Some highlights of this book that make it stand out compared to other "workbooks" are the QR codes videos, chapter introductions for parents, and it covering numerous subjects in one book. The videos are short (2-3 minutes) which is perfect for a quick review of the skill before my daughter works on the pages. This workbook will help my daughter be ready for 3rd grade in all subjects!

I normally make my own curriculum, but we have moved to a smaller space so having 2 subjects in one workbook is very helpful. I like that you can scan a QR code for extra help videos, although we really haven't needed to watch them so far. I scanned a couple just to see what the videos were like and they are short and simple, which is good for an easily distracted 3rd grader. I'm not sure if this will last they whole year, especially since we do year round schooling. I am more concerned about the reading/laguage arts section as it seems to have much less work than the math section. I do really wish there was a test/quiz/review at the end of each chapter. I am thinking I will have to make my own since I normally only give actual grades for tests and just make him correct any wrong answers for daily work. Other then that I am satified with this and it's much more affrdable than many other curriculum. I have recommended this for other homeschool friends/family member and will likely continue to use these books.

This Product is great for summer learning. To the eye it looks like just a work book but it is filled with so much more. I really appreciate the videos that are included with the QR Code. My child loves to use their iPad to scan the code to get to the video. Including technology is so important for kids as it is hands on and helps to deepen their understanding and as a parent I do not always know the strategies they are teaching kids now.

I’m preparing for the transition to grade 3 on our home schooling journey and always love to have some guidance on the subjects so when we start using this ones I’ll update the review
