Review: Tutoring Teacher's Job Made Easier - I tutor K-8th graders at my church. I bought this book to help me. It was great. I am also a teacher and was happy to find common core reprintable lessons for the kids. Thanks, again, desertcart. Review: Good tool - be prepared to engage in every exercize with your child - Its much better content than previous workbooks we have bought. It's geared towards educators, so its slightly tougher for parents to adequately use it as there are many references to what was discussed in class. We'd love a version where it provides the parent with the full lesson plan to better utilize the tools within for the child's benefit. We used this as a prep for 7th grade as our child happens to be in a school where the curriculum isn't up to standard in our opinions and based on testing and grade result from K-6. Each school year and/or summer we use a workbook to keep our child engaged and so they do not fall backwards. There are many exercises where answers can vary greatly, so as a parent/teacher you need to really read what your child is writing and discuss with them actively. This isn't a do the work and grade it - it's subjective. So, be prepared to be on top of this learning experience.
