Students Companion International Edition. New Edition

I've always love the student companion, it should be a must have for every kid and even adults ( as they can learn a thing or 2).. it's sooo full of vital information

This book was recommended to me by one who thought it didn't exist in the US. She was from Jamaica and was telling me about their educational system as I had encountered her well-educated young elementary school student and asked how he knew so much. She told me how, in Jamaica, you had to pass a test to get from 6th grade to 7th grade, which was the beginning of high school. Much of the test was taken from this book, which covers the facts about most subjects. This book contains list after list of things we had to memorize when I was young. As a school principal, I encounter students coming into our school who are empty-headed but sure they are creative. NOTE: You can be creative AND full of knowledge. I am recommending this book to our parents as a source of info for their own kids. We forget that young students can memorize like crazy if you show them they can. That starts to become a bit harder around age 12, dwindling through life. You can't think creatively unless you have mental building blocks to use. This book supplies so much info that was formerly assumed you would learn in schools that is no longer taught. Want to move a student/person from dumbed down to on fire? Use this book.

I got introduced to this book as a 4th grader equivalent. I never forgot it. So I sought it out, found it and bought it for my son and I. We are not disappointed. A must have for every growing child!

Good resource book.

So much to learn! Bought this for my kid

The Student's Companion should be an inseparable partner from the 5th grade for today's Elementary and Secondary school pupils. I used the Caribbean edition in my native Barbados for the first time over 50 years ago. It is still in my personal library. This international is well updated continues to provide excellent reference material on a wide range of relevant subjects. I highly recommend it.

i used one of these when i was a kid and i ordered 1 for my kid, it took a while but it finally arrived,maybe from England, anyway there are a lot of knoweledge to learn n this book. the price was right.

Educational

Very useful book for students and teachers. I love it

I had this book as a child when I went to school, and I recently bought this book again as an adult because it is useful to anyone at any age. I am so happy to receive my book in a timely manner. I encourage everyone to get this book.

I used the Indian Edition in my earlier days for the first time over 20 years ago. It is still in my personal library. This International Edition is well updated continues to provide excellent reference material on a wide range of relevant subjects. I highly recommend it.

Helpful

All children should be exposed to this book early in life. it is invaluable the knowledge and vocabulary you can gain just by reading. I had forgotten a lot of what I had learned from it, but now seeing it reminds me of a nostalgic time when I did not understand the significance of this book. I do recommend any parent interested in working with their children to use this book to build strong vocabularies and other grammatical areas.
