Jam-packed with hundreds of curriculum-based activities, exercises and games in every subject, Brain Quest Grade 4 Workbook reinforces what kids are learning in the classroom. The workbook's lively layout and easy-to-follow explanations make learning fun, interactive, and concrete. Plus it's written to help parents follow and explain key concepts. Includes language arts, word searches and crosswords, idea clusters, multiplication and division, story problems, geometry, graphs, time lines, Brain Boxes, and much more.

Most grade-school workbooks try to cover the full range of topics in one workbook, and as a result do not dedicate enough pages to important mathematical concepts. Kumon's research has found, however, that children find learning easier when they tackle one skill set at a time. With these findings in mind, we designed our newest line of workbooks to help children with one particular mathematical skill set per book.

Good reading skills are essential not only for fourth-grade academic success, but also for lifelong learning. The teacher-reviewed, curriculum-based activities and exercises in this workbook will help your children catch up, keep up, and get ahead. Best of all, they’ll have lots of fun doing it! Some of the great features you’ll find inside are:

READ BETWEEN THE LINES
Do-it-yourself essays on games, camping trips, and more teach kids how to grasp inferences within a story.

COMPARE & CONTRAST
Diagrams show how to figure out what similar subjects such as "comets or asteroids?" have in common and how to tell them apart.

FACT & OPINION
Interesting articles help kids back up opinions with facts from the text on topics such as "Should kids have cell phones?"

QUESTION BUSTERS
Right There and Think-and-Search questions explain how to find the answers to straightforward and not-so-straightforward questions about a story.

STORY PLAN
Fill-in-the-blank sections aid in building story structure, including setting, main characters, problems, and solutions.

Plus!
CHECK IT! STRIPS
Reinforce concepts and build confidence as kids check their own work.

Give your child’s grades and confidence a boost with 4th Grade Reading Comprehension Success.

Dexter is like a square peg in a round hole: he just can’t fit in. All the kids in his class enjoy the zany things their teacher Mr. Ditzwinkle does to make learning fun. All except Dexter, the weirdo who prefers the same routine. But when things start disappearing from school, Dexter is surprised that his teacher is suspected. Dexter thinks Mr. Ditzwinkle is odd, but he knows he’s not a crook.

Can Dexter the weirdo prove it by catching the real thief?
