Ready•Set•Learn: Reading Comprehension, Grade 2 from Teacher Created Resources

I use these workbooks in the summer to keep my grandchildrens' minds active. Love the stories and learning capability.

We homeschool and this workbook is a favorite. Nice variety of short, educational, non-fiction stories and the questions truly do focus on comprehension and reasoning, not the language and word skills I've seen in other books like it. Some of the stories use standardized "fill in the bubble" format (which I prefer); some have you just circle the answer.

This book really help my daughter during the summary to keep learning and help her get ready for the 2nd grade. She has been scared to start this year thinking it will be hard and this book help transition into her new grade

I LOVE this book! I use it 2 times a week for great reading comprehension activities in my class. The children enjoy the reading passages.

We are using this as a summer reading resource. One page per day keeps my daughter learning and excited to read. I like the small size and the length of the stories. Short and to the point.

My son and I read these books together. He is struggling just a bit with his reading, and we read these books together. They are pretty good books. They are small, but they are good.

Very good book.

This is probably more appropriate for first grade readers. I use it with my six-year-old and there are usually two or three challenging words per story. (I highlight them and the next time we open the book, we review them.) Like all of the Ready-Set-Learn books, they contain stickers to place on each page and also to a printed "race" on the inside cover of the book; once all the pages have been read, the child wins the race. Until I had a child, I never would have believed anyone could be motivated by stickers. But it works. My quibble? I like precise language. After each short story/blurb, there are reading comprehension questions, many of which are imprecisely worded. While this provides a teachable moment to explain that some questions can have more than one correct answer, this is a reading comprehension book...for second graders. How tough would it be to tighten up the questions? (I suppose I could consult the answer key--yes, there's an answer key in the back!--but...no.)

Great selection of materials!
