How the picks were scored

The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level where one is given. Each pick lists a grade level, and each geography pick lists a reading age. The weights are explained in the site guide.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each book’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Reading age or level counts on a list where at least one listing gives one, and a book whose listing gives none then scores zero on it. Where no listing gives one, the score is taken over the other 85 points. Books carry no warranty, so warranty is not scored.

How to choose the best geography workbook for 6th grade

Reading level and age

Check the reading age and grade level against the reader, not the title alone. The DK listing, for example, gives conflicting ages, while the Spectrum listing marks its reading age as from customers.

Format and edition

Daily practice suits a regular routine, while project work suits readers who learn through writing and activities. Check the publication date and edition, since the Daily Geography Practice listing dates to June 1, 2004, while the Skill Sharpeners listing dates to January 1, 2018. For middle school options, see best geography workbook for middle school.

Before you buy

• Check the edition and publication date on the listing.
• Check which book of the series comes first, where a series is stated.
• Check whether an answer key is included or sold separately.
