Comprehension Skills: 40 Short Passages for Close Reading: Grade 2

This book is extremely beneficial to children in second grade. It has all common core skills that children are tested on and expected to know.

Excellent source of learning

These are very short passages with 1-4 comprehension questions for each. I am rating it 5 stars because this is a great resource to use when you are first showing students how a skill may look like on an assessment. There is typically not a lot of "digging" that needs to happen with these stories when answering the comprehension questions. For most questions you are able to go back into the passage and underline/highlight exactly what has helped you answer the question. They're graspable even for your below level readers as well because they're so short. Children aren't exhausted by the time they finish the passage. I will be using these whole group to introduce different comprehension skills, as independent spiral review, and homework.

Could have had more comprehensions in the book. Great teaching aid looking at comprehension skills while building up reading vocabulary.

Bought because we really enjoyed the first grade edition so just moving up. I use this for my ASD teen for reading and comprehension practice. He does well with the easy questions.

Great extra work for your child

Our 8 year old daughter loves this workbook. The stories are short enough to hold her attention and the questions aren't too difficult.

I like this book. Not very hard but good enough to make them think. My 2nd grade was able to do it and had few questions. So not bad. But definitely not that challenging if that is what you are looking for.

Boas leituras para alunos mais crescidos.

Would buy again, has helped for sure!
