SUMMER STUDY SKILLS BOOKS
These workbooks are on display in the Library for you to preview. The books provide short lessons that are intended to help your child reinforce what was learned during the past school year.

These workbooks are intended for review and Grace does not require that the books be completed. If you are interested, order the workbook for the grade level that your child has just completed.
