Workbook - American Education

A textbook supplement containing exercises tied directly to materials discussed in the related text. Effective in early elementary education, workbooks force students to review all textbook materials and demonstrate an understanding thereof in a limited space that imposes language discipline by requiring terse answers that are to the point. In addition, the workbook serves as a portfolio of a student’s work over an extended period, providing a visible measure of academic progress.
