BRAIN QUEST Advlaory Panel of Teachers
Dear Parent,
·It,s Funt o Be Sn1art ,,, That's notjust our s logan, it's our philosophy. For fifteen
years we've been adding a big dose of "fun" into learning-first with our bestselling
Q&A Brain Quest card decks; then with all the licensed games and products bearing
the Brain Quest brand; and now with BRAIN QUEST WORKBOOKS.
At Brain Quest we believe:
• All kids are smart-though lhey learn at their own speed.
• All kids learn best when they're having fu n.
• All kids deserve the chance to reach their potential-given the tools
they need , there's no limit to how far they can go!
BRAIN QUEST WORKBOOKS are the perfect tools to help children get a leg up in
all areas of curriculum; they can hone their readi ng s kills or dig in with math drills,
review the basics or get a preview of lessons to come. These are not textbooks,
but rather true workbooks-best used as supplements to what kids are learning in
school, reinforcing cunicular concepts while encouraging creative problem solving
and higher-level thinking. You and your child can tackle a page or two a day-or an
entir e chapter over the course of a long holiday break. Your child will be getting
great help with basi c schoolwork, and you will be better able to gauge how well he
or she is understanding course material.
Each BRAIN QUEST WORKBOOK has been wTitten in consultation with an award-
winning teach er specializing in that grade, and is compliant with most school
curricula across the country. We cover the core competencies of reading, writing 1
and math in depth-with chapters on science, social studies, and oU\er popular
units rounding out the curriculum. Easy-to-navigate pages with color-coded tabs
help identify chapters, while Brain Boxes offer parent-friendly explanations of key
concepts and study units. That means parents can use the workbooks in conj unction
with what their children are learning in school, or to explain material in ways that
are consistent with current teaching strategies. In either case1 the workbooks create
an important bridge to the classroom, an effective tool for parents, homeschoolers,
tutors, and teachers alike.
BRAIN QUEST WORKBOOKS all come with a variety of fun extras: a pull-out poster;
Brail1 Quest "mini-cards" based on th e bestselling Brain Quest game; two pages of
stickers; and a Brainiac Award Certificate to celebrate successful completion of the
workbook.

Learning is an adventure-a quest for knowledge. At Brain Quest we strive to guide
children on that quest, to keep them moti vated and curious, and to give them the
confidence they need to do well in school ... and beyond . We're confident that
BRAIN QUEST WORKBOOKS will play an integral role in your child ' adventure. So
let the learning- and the fun- begin!
