This school year has been cut short by the Coronavirus pandemic. We sadly missed the last 2 1/2 months of school in the physical building. Our school quickly turned to online distance learning but I know my middle schooler missed out on a lot of content. This summer we will be staying at home and it won’t be long until I hear, “Mom, I am so bored.” I have been looking for a summer learning activity that would be educational and fun. I am excited to share with you the awesome set of books we will be using this summer.
Summer learning activity
Each page of the Everything you Need to Ace Math in one big notebook is colorful, engaging, and easy to understand. The books are set up to cover all the material you will need to learn in one subject of middle school. Each chapter ends with a way to check if you understand the concepts that were taught. There are no quizzes or tests, just information followed by knowledge checks. My daughter finds these books to be a low-stress way to learn all of the core subjects. Mom loves that almost all the books in the series can be found on Amazon for less than $10! It is so hard to find a good summer learning activity that is educational, well priced, and entertaining for the kids.
The Everything you need to know series, by Workman Publishing, comes in a set of 5 books. You can find all the books in the series on Amazon:
- Everything you need to ace science in one big fat notebook, click here.
- Everything you need to ace math in one big fat notebook, click here.
- Everything you need to ace American History in one big fat notebook, click here.
- Everything you need to ace World History in one big fat notebook, click here.

When my kids were little their favorite summer learning activity was the Brain Quest games. We kept these fun questions in the car and the kids loved them. This book series was created by the editors of Brain Quest and the pictures in the books are just as cute as I remember them. As a Mom and a teacher, I cannot resist these fun and colorful notebooks. I keep asking my daughter if she is ready to read them with me, secretly hoping her answer will always be yes! I only wish my notebooks looked this cute when I was in school.
What are you doing to keep the kids learning this summer? What is your favorite summer learning activity?
These books are great for some home learning so the kids can continue with STEM. My son has his on-line school but these are great choices.
These books are perfect for a little fun summer learning!
Those are so cool! I’m going to have to check those out when my kids are older. My oldest is only 5 currently, but she loves to learn!
Honestly, many of the concepts can be understood by children who are much younger than middle school. The pictures are so colorful and fun to read that these books will appeal to kids and adults of all ages!
Such a great set of books. My son is so into history. I will check those books out for him. Love gifting him books.
Books always make great gifts!!
These books like great finds for under $10! Pinning this to check out later
Yes, these books are a great price and so much fun to use for learning with.
This post is so helpful especially at this time. The kids will definitely be bored during the long Summer holidays and I think keeping them busy with these books – Everything you need to ace series can turn a boring summer into a fun and educational one.
Exactly! You need fun ways for the kids to keep learning this summer. I am excited to learn along with my daughter.
This looks like a terrific resource. The last few months of school were a wash so I’m looking for some fun learning activities for my daughter.
I feel the exact same way that you do! We missed so much content with the school closing early. These books will help us catch up and get ahead for next year!
It’s so great to keep the summer learning going. I want my kids to have fun, but also be able to transition easily back into the school year. Great idea!
We will be having plenty of free time this summer, but we will also be learning and using these books. There will be a combination of learning and playing.
What a great book to have to keep our kids learning math while at home. I’ll have to get this book for them.
I know your kids will love these books as much as mine do!
This is great you were able to find helpful activities for the kids. I don’t have any children, but I do know from friends that homeschooling during covid has been a challenge. These are great resources.
Yes, we have had a challenging few months. Many kids have fallen behind and over the summer is a great time to catch up!
Thanks so much for this! I need to buy more Math books for my kids! I am going to check out the whole collections!
I am going to buy an English and History book to round out our collection! Thanks for checking it out.
These seem like a great resource to help students continue their learning over the summer!
These are a wonderful resource for kids this summer. They really make learning fun!
The school is over! But our kid need to continue learning even during summer!
Exactly! Even though school is over, we need to keep learning.
This is such a valuable resource for parents and kids, especially during this season. These would also make good gifts for my nieces and nephews.
These books make great gifts! They are so colorful and fun to read that kids do not even notice that they are learning.
There are so many available learning activities for kids to explore. Thanks for featuring this.
There are a lot of resources, but most of them are not interesting or able to keep the kids attention.
