Several pages writing in through out the entire book

Good choice for summer skills prep

Bought this to help my son maintain and improve his reading skills over the summer. A few main things I like: 1)The pages are attractively mapped out with nice grapics. The pages look more 'fun' that typical workbooks or school homework sheets. 2)The content seems to appeal to my son as the subjects are more kid friendly topics than other workbooks we have. They reference things of interest and silly humor that appeals to him. Two things to consider: 1)It is not the sort of workbook where there are 5 pages covering very similar concepts before moving to a new skill. I sometimes have to take extra time on one page and use it as a guide to make my own additional worksheet before he is ready to move on to the next page. 2)Be sure to open the "look inside the book' feature before you buy and review the sample pages closely so that you can gague if it is right level for your child. Since schools vary in what are first grade skills verses 2nd grade skills I would not just go by the title. I got this for my son who just finished kindergarten, however this book is titled as being for 2nd grade skills. The school he is at really pushes them in kindergarten so he was ready for this book. If I had gotten the 1st grade book it would have been all review with no new material. I am happy enough that I will buy Sylvan books again and this book is better in skills covered, appearance, and in maintaining my sons interest that other books we have tried.

Reading grade two

The Sylvan workbooks are ideally suited for review work. We used this particular book with our third grader, who was having difficulty remembering some of the concepts earlier learned and it was slowing down her reading. After a couple of weeks review with Sylvan she's back on task and well within her grade level. The book seems very elementary, but to a child who for one reason or another missed or has forgotten a certain concept, it is a lifeline!
