Teach your student the wonderful gift of the English language! This book gives your student an excellent foundation in sentence structure, language development, and grammar. It uses the special phonics sounds that will help expand his vocabulary, enhance his word analysis skills, and increase his reading speed. Each lesson is filled with special word challenges, puzzles, riddles, and other exercises. By the end of the year, your student's reading skills will be sharpened, and he will write more clearly, correctly, and concisely. Skip the hassle of tearing out the pages for each lesson and order the unbound version with loose leaf, shrink wrapped pages.
Frankly, to use this program solely as a 2nd Grade phonics/reading program will be difficult, as the phonics concepts are so thoroughly integrated with reading skills and general language arts. If doing so, you will need:
For the complete Grade 2 Language Arts you will need to add the Reading Program (11 Readers plus the Reading 2 Answer Key and Comprehension 2 Skill Sheets and Answer Key), Writing with Phonics 2 (cursive or manuscript), 2nd Grade Writing Tablet, and Spelling & Poetry 1.
I needed it because we use Abeka and I buy unbound so that I can scan and print them easier because we don't write in the books.
My son used ABeka 1st grade and he's ready for 2nd grade now. (I also learned to read with ABeka and used the curriculum through elementary school.)
