School Zone workbooks are developed by educators to complementthe curriculum ateach

grade. Workbooks are an effectivewayfor parents to help their child review, practice, and master important skills. Look for other School Zone workbooks for children in third and fourth grade.

Here are a few choices available:

Missing You Encourage your child to become a pen pal with someone he or she won't see for a few

months Writing letters and post cards will sharpen your child's writing, spelling, and reading skills.

WinningWords Play synonym games with your child. Synonyms are words with similar meanings. One

player says a word, and then the other players say as manysynonyms as they can For instance, one player could say "hot." The other players could then say "sizzling" and "burning."

MATH

MyNumber Give your child a card with a number written on it Ask your child to think of asmanyquestions

as possible with that number as the answer Here are somequestions for the number 7: Howmanydwarfs

lived with SnowWhite? How many numbers are in a phone number? How many colors are in a rainbow? Fraction Walk Take a walk to help your child understand that fractions are everywhere If a house has three

windows facing the street, each window is one-third of the whole set of windows Encourage your child

to notice other parts in a whole, such as the posts of a fence or the cars in a parking lot.

SOCIAL STUDIES

Road Trip Places that are familiar to adults can fascinate a child Take trips to local airports, antique

stores, and ethnic restaurants to help your child develop an awareness of the world.

Name Game While you are traveling, point out the names of geographical sites or places. Namesoften

reflect the characteristics of a place Will you need a warmjacket in Frostproof, Florida? Ask your child to

relate the natural features of a place to its name.
