Student Readers use a distinctive print font that is easy on the eyes and utilizes the forms of letters being taught (i.e. a manuscript "g rather than the more typical printed "g). Stories have noticeable moral content.
Discover the fun of reading with the Horizons 2nd Grade Phonics & Reading Student Reader 1—Robinson Crusoe & Other Classic Stories from Alpha Omega Publications. Your homeschool child will quickly learn to read using 80 phonics-based poems and short stories that stress moral values and godly character qualities.

The result? As your child decodes new words and improves his reading fluency, he'll also increase his reading comprehension. Inevitably, he'll have so much fun reading; he'll want to reread the stories several times!
But there's more! A thought-provoking principle relating to the content of each story is also included and can be discussed either before or after reading the selection to further enhance desirable character qualities. Plus, the user-friendly teacher's guide has comprehensive and review questions that make each story in this fun-filled reader come alive. Sound fantastic? It is!

This creative and colorful course from Alpha Omega Publications is a complete phonetically-based word recognition and reading program. With all the elements one expects to find in an excellent, easy-to-use program, basic concepts are approached in several ways for emphasis. Concepts are presented one at a time while review of previous material helps student achieve mastery. Sounds, the basic building blocks of reading, are presented phonetically and are practiced in words, word lists, word families, and short sentences. There is also a strong emphasis on general language arts skills and comprehension. The Horizons courses are notable for their balance between teacher/student interaction and independent student work.
Covers schwa sounds, triple consonant blends, inflected endings, final adjacent clusters, silent letters, and long vowel digraphs.
The Complete Boxed Set for this grade level includes two student workbooks, two readers, and a teacher guide, but these are also available for separate purchase. Teacher guide and readers are non-consumable while workbooks are consumable.
