Reading Success for Minecrafters: Grades 3-4 (Reading for Minecrafters)

I had just about given up. Too much pressure. I was angry with my son. He was resentful towards me. Then Minecraft swooped in and resolved our little situation. The goal for his reading assignments is to summarize the main idea and things of that nature. Since I know nothing about Minecraft, he had to explain things to me. I suggest The Farting Creeper as another great interactive choice. Evidently, Creepers aren't meant to fart! It has my children in stitches. I'm just glad to hear him read and follow through on the analysis questions that are typically a part of his homework. Now that he's gotten the gist of it through these materials, it's much easier for him to do the same with class readings. Amen!

My son who has ADHD hates reading and writing, but he loves Minecraft. Don’t judge this book by its cover. He enjoyed reading about and then comparing and contrasting creepers and skeletons. He learned some great vocabulary words and spelling by matching and making list of synonyms and antonyms from a short passage about a dragon. I think he’s also picking up some good to know insider info about Minecraft in the context he is reading.

Awesome for kids who won't talk about anything else. My son is in 1st grade, but loved the grade 1-2 version so much that I got this too. This one is interesting to see what concepts he WILL be learning - it has more fantasy stories in it to read to him, and builds vocab. The grades 1-2 has a little too much explanatory text i.e. what is a creeper etc. I prefer the reading success books to the math books...but probably because my son needs more help with reading. I'm sure the math ones good for kids who need catching up with math...ALL awesome tho. Thanks for producing these!

My son struggles with reading motivation, but this book is great! He even ASKS me if he can work on it! It’s helping his reading and writing with great activities on a topic he is interested in.

I cannot say enough. Someone actually sat down and learned about minecraft my 7 and 9 year old love these and are actually willing to work through them!

If your kid loves Minecraft, get this book! (And the other ones like it). My 8 year old doesn't struggle in school, but I bought this just for supplemental education at home for him. He absolutely loves it and doesn't consider it learning.

good workbook, companions well with the writing workbook, which is even better!

This book covers everything in a clear and fun way. The worksheets are not too long, perfect for a single sitting, or a couple pages for a longer session. Great for summer bridge or a supplement to homeschooling due to COVID. My only problem is my son is farther beyond than I thought, so he loved the books but needed me to either teach the concept of every single question or basically do it for him. I will try the next grade level lower.

I like the variety of assignments in this book. Great for kids who don’t really care for reading.

Well put together.
