How we scored them
The Shelf Score weighs fit for the reader, contents and edition, value, and the listed reading age or level. All five state a reading age; three are marked as from customers. How we pick explains the weights.
| Book | Shelf Score | Fit /35 | Contents /25 | Value /25 | Age/level /10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 180 Days Geography by Callaghan | 9.8 | 32 | 22 | 20 | 9 |
| World Geography Activity by Grady | 9.7 | 30 | 21 | 21 | 8 |
| DK Geography Grade 2 by DK | 9.7 | 32 | 19 | 20 | 8 |
| Kindergarten Geography by Wizo | 9.6 | 29 | 19 | 20 | 7 |
| World Geography by Fabridge | 9.6 | 30 | 18 | 19 | 7 |
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 kids

Listings give ages 5 to 6 through 8 to 12; three mark the age as from customers. The 180 Days and DK books also give grade levels.
Daily practice or world tour
The 180 Days book gives one page a day for the school year; the Grady and Fabridge books tour countries with maps and flags. For a companion skill, see the best handwriting workbook for kids.
Check the answer key
Three of the five state an answer key or answers included; the Wizo book does not state one. For more subject practice, see the best science workbook.
