How can we not be excited to review such colorful, fun workbooks and kid-engaging worksheets?
Education.com is an one-stop website for 1000s of worksheets and printables for grades Pre-school - high school and numerous workbooks for grades Preschool - 5th grade! What subjects? Lots! Education.com covers reading, writing, math, science, social studies, coloring, and games! And Education.com has TONS of activities to "spice up" our homeschools...or even just to do something new and fun on a rainy or snowy day!
So, what did we choose to check out for this review? (But you'll be seeing more of these worksheets and workbooks on my weekly wrap-ups in the future! LOL)
Well, Sugar Maple decided to start out with Monster Writing (Grade 5). This 23 page downloaded PDF workbook focused on famous historical monsters, such as Frankenstein, and included creative writing prompts. Each page took Maple about 20-30 minutes to complete, but she took her time and we reviewed writing skills along the way.
For us, Education.com workbooks and worksheets are PERFECT for concept review!

And staying with the writing theme, Balsam Fir also working on a writing workbook. I stuck with 1st grade (even though he's going into 2nd) because, well, he doesn't like to write. Period. (Pun intended. LOL) With his fine motor skill challenges, it's better to complete activities with LESS writing than more.
What I really like is that each workbook focuses in one particular area. Perfect to "shore up" any of those areas that a kiddo is struggling in! And the workbooks aren't daunting because most are under 30 pages! (It's pretty easy on the printer ink too...if you don't run out on the very first page like I did! LOL)
The worksheets can be downloaded in subject sets or individual or even CUSTOMIZED BULK DOWNLOAD sets that WE choose! How's that for convenience?
You can also visit Education.com, sign up and receive one free workbook download! Or see samples of each workbook. And there's LOADS of free worksheets and activities! You can browse by age or subject. So, head over! Check it out! LOL
What's all this cost after the freebies? Education.com has a monthly on-line subscription for $4.99 which allows you to download 2 workbooks per month. But for just $47.88 a year, you can get the whole "kit-and-caboodle"! Unlimited workbooks! That works out to $3.99 per month! It won't take many workbooks to cover membership costs!

I'm a mom to a 4 year old who is starting an unofficial, homeschooled kindergarten this year. He loves everything about learning, so since we planned to homeschool anyway, I thought starting early in a relaxed, low-key way couldn't hurt. And the boy is a workbook *maniac.* He never really liked coloring books, but he'll look through them long enough to do any activity pages. Unlimited workbooks would be his dream come true, and that's definitely would be our favorite part of education.com!
