Very basic 2nd grade work,
This review is from: JumpStart 2nd Grade Phonics Workbook (Paperback)
I bought this as summer work for my son, who is going into 2nd grade. This is a very basic phonic work book, with simple blends. As a review work it was ok, but it didn't cover all of his first grade phonic lessons. If your child is a good reader, or reading at 2nd grade level, this book is not very challenging.

Amazing Work book,
By Kandy Fritch (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JumpStart 1st Grade Phonics Workbook (Paperback)
I bought this because my 6 year old wanted it. I didn't have a really big expectation, just thought maybe it would help a good reader get better. He LOVES IT! he finished the entire workbook in 1 night! I kept asking if he wanted to stop and he said no. He just kept going. GREAT BOOK!!I'll get the rest of them now.

JumpStart 2nd Grade Phonics Workbook is quite easy,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: JumpStart 2nd Grade Phonics Workbook (Paperback)
Hi, you can call me StoryMaker. When I was much younger, I reviewed this, but it wasn't a very good review, so I'm doing a better one. Here goes nothin'!Ever since I was in Kindergarten, I have enjoyed JumpStart software. When I was in 2nd Grade or so, I learned about the JumpStart workbook series based off the software. So, Mom got me a lot of JumpStart 2nd Grade workbooks off eBay. Some of them, like Math Workshop, were quite good. However, others were not good. Phonics is among them. In JumpStart 2nd Grade Phonics workbook, CJ Frog & Edison Firefly blast into outer space to learn about phonics. They visit many made-up planets on their journey. Some elements to the plot are pretty dumb, and I didn't like how the Doinks chased CJ & Edison out because "our poem doesn't have any -oink words!" I like the Doinks & Zows, personally. Of course, many 2nd Graders could probably manage to get past the lame points in the plot. However, there are more problems. The biggest problem is that this workbook is quite easy for 2nd Grade. The blends & digraphs were definitely beyond easy for me when I was a 2nd Grader and, unfortunately, they're a main focus. This workbook actually does get credit for telling me about the terms "dipthong" and "schwa". However, even if I didn't know the word, I pretty much knew what a dipthong was. Schwa was a new concept for me, but I mastered it pretty quickly. The vowels & R's thing was fairly easy. Maybe I'm just smart, but I doubt it. Overall, JumpStart 2nd Grade Phonics workbook might be good for someone who just entered 2nd Grade to do review work, but other than that, it really is easy. You might want to get it in a lot like I did so there's more value. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
