We homeschool and finished the Complete Book of Reading Grades 1-2 this school year. I ordered this book (as well as the one from Grade 1) to use as summer review before going to the Complete Book of Reading Grade 3-4 in the fall. I love how Scholastic always teaches the essential skills! And I wanted to make sure my daughter had really learned all she needed in Grammar before we go to the next workbook in the Complete Book of Reading series.This book is very succinct with black and white pages that can be photocopied easily. So if you are a teacher, it would work great for that.I was surprised to see that we covered all these skills plus more in the Complete Book of Reading Grades 1-2. So if you are a homeschooler, I highly recommend that book and skipping this one (for grades 1 and 2). Plus, the Complete Book of Reading is in full color, more variety in activities (cut and paste, circle the word, write it in the blank, etc.) so it seems a bit more fun. It also has Phonics activities and Reading comprehension in addition to Grammar.But for summer review, this is good :)
There is no author listed for these workbooks. You can tell that whatever committee put this together took a scattered approach to covering grammar. The exercises are too simple, and can be completed without actually understanding what you are doing. It's too easy to pick the right answers to their non-writing exercises, like where the student marks an X for an incorrectly written sentence. But much worse, the exercises have minimal sentence writing. Writing quick fixes to other peoples' writing is not going to help students recognize problems with their own. That's a different skill. To really learn to use grammar appropriately, students must use it in their writing and get feedback from someone looking at their work.But the Scholastic Success with Writing is a great resource. I highly recommend those.
This is must have for any home-schooler. It has good learning techniques. It's challenging but isn't so hard that kid doesn't feel accomplished. If you are home-schooling your children I found this book to be a good break in the day. It taught in a fun way that also showed success!
This book will serve as a great scan of what a second grader should know. My tutee will love the book because he knows the answers and will be so proud to get the exercises completed to win compliments. He is so smart and studies very seriously.
This workbook is beautifully done. The exercises are fun, engaging, and easy to understand. There is NO color on the pages, which I first thought might seem boring and dull, but after having my 2nd grader use this, I think that colorful pages may have only been a distraction.I highly recommend this workbook for anyone wanting to learn more about the structure of the English language. It's excellent as a homeschool study guide or just extra practice.
My son is in fourth grade reading level but I decided to go with this level bcz he is very lazy when it comes to writing. So I bought 3 set of second grade level for just 10 buck! Grammar, Writing and Reading Comprehension.
I get so disappointed when I buy a subject specific workbook and then my child can't read any of it because the reading level is too high and all we are really trying to focus on is "insert subject here". This book is great because it really focuses on the grammar rather than the reading level. Not too fond of the common core standards, I wish we could just call it a declarative sentence from the beginning but, with a little guidance it's a great practice book.
This book is fun to use. Easy work pages to supplement a homeschool curriculum or just to reinforce some skills from school.
