Spectrum Reading, Grade 2

Awesome books . Don’t even think twice .

Has approximately 75 one-page stories. Each story has one page of 7-8 questions. Often, there is not quite enough room to write out the full answer on the line provided, but it's not overly annoying. The questions themselves focus on reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. For example, a passage on bridges was followed by a question to identify the types of bridges discussed. Another question asked how two specific bridges discussed in the text were different. It also will ask what the reader thinks will happen next in fictional passages and whether statements are fact or opinion. Some questions ask the reader to identify what happened first, next, and last in the story. The words used in the texts themselves are appropriate for a reader at or near the 2nd grade level. They may need help with a few words, but they can read most words without difficulty. My daughter is an average reader and we bought the book for her to work in during the summer between 1st and 2nd grade. It takes her 10-20 minutes to compete each passage. A child with better reading comprehension skills would likely finish it more quickly.

半年のアメリカ滞在後、小４の子どもの英語をキープする目的で購入しました。テキストを色々探しましたが、この教材が一番使いやすく内容も良いです。また４～６週間かかるとありましたが、注文から２週間程で届き梱包も丁寧でした。また利用したいと思います。

Helped keep my daughter’s brain working throughout the summer!

Everything by spectrum is fantastic.
