Carley: We use spectrum as a big part of our homeschool curriculum. The kindergarten books were too easy for my son, so we moved to first grade and he’s doing great and being challenged while learning necessary skills. This is the right price and just what I was looking for.

Stephanie Hilaire: I'm using it to help my daughter to improve her reading skills. It's really helpful and I like the fact they use the new words in different stories so my daughter can memorize them.

lafoto: I thought the book was too hard for a beginning first grader. However, other parents thought it was great for the children. If you have a struggling reader, you may want to start with Kumon Reading first, and then get this one after they build up some fluency.

Brandon & Isabelle: We purchased 9 of these Spectrum books (3 Reading, 3 Language Arts & 3 Writing, Grades 6, 3, &1) and we ended up returning all of them, except for Spectrum Reading, Grade 1. We started homeschooling on our own after the schools closed down due to COVID-19. I bought these books as a way to help the kids round out their school year since the public schools were in a scramble to adapt to online learning. While I love their set up, it required too much daily writing. We bought 9 of these books so this review is going to be copied and pasted on to each one.

If you have a reluctant writer or are planning on buying several different Spectrum workbooks for one child, then I will warn you that the workbooks require a lot of writing. A LOT of writing. If you do love the layout of these books, then I would suggest that you alternate which ones your child works on in a single day. My oldest daughter (6th grade) is not a reluctant writer and even she dreaded having to do these books. So if you want to try them out I suggest only getting one at a time and doing only a page a day. A lesson is generally 2-3 pages. If you have a reluctant writer those 2-3 pages...

Mrs.P.: Great activity book for the advanced kindergarten child or the child reading at their grade level. Easy activities included with each story.

Pierre: The reading passages are high interest for first and second graders, but the reading comprehension questions are too easy, and the first answer is almost always the correct answer.

EJW: Needs more repetition to be of more value.
