This book is great for those kids getting started with independent reading. The authors give great passages and problems specifically for the objectives in the 2nd grade curriculum. The practice items enforce what kids taught in school that otherwise just forgotten. The book offers many fine reading comprehension and vocabulary exercises. Your kids can never have too much of them.

I like such practices as the reading is checked by the questions, so you know objectively how much is understood. Otherwise, your child may read many funny books but still has a poor comprehension. Another great resource like this is the Beestar ELA programs (www.beestar.org). They cover everything required in the curriculum, so you are confident that your child has obtained the expected knowledge and skills regardless how his teacher teaches him.

I wish the book was a little thicker. Not a lot of workbook.

In my opinion, this workbook has helped my child understand and better process the stories she reads, therefore giving her a better comprehension of what the stories are about.

This workbook was exactly what I was looking for. My son was having problems with Reading Comprehension and this workbook was perfect. We've seen results already.

I think this is a great book for tutoring students who need to get comprehension mastered. It breaks reading into steps that help aid in comprehenion that others take for granted.

My child is a fluent reader, but has problem processing what he reads. I thought this book would help him. The book has many very easy tasks that have little to do with actual reading comprehension: sequence a set of 4 pictures, general question not about the story. Some exercises a good, but mostly this book is not for fluent readers who need help with comprehension.

Another great Scholastic reading comprehension book. My son completed this one first this summer before moving on to the third grade reading comprehansion book. Since this is something that is difficult for him, these workbooks really help him break it down. This workbook was the extra help he needed to really get the material.

This is a wonderful workbook. The stories are cute and often funny,and the questions are often in the form of a game, riddle or joke. My son HATES to do work but actually enjoys these workbooks. The work is challenging enough to be interesting (which many of these type of workbooks are not)and also smart and varied,it's not the same type of question rephrased for the next exercise. When my twin girls are old enough I hope to buy it for them too.

I love the Scholastic books for supplemental work. We use them one day each week for a change of pace. Great reinforcement of concepts we are working on in other books.

I ordered this book thinking it was a reading comprehension resource book. However, it is a student workbook. It contains exercises that introduce the following skills: identifying the main idea, drawing conclusions, following directions, prediction, character analysis, cause & effect. I ordered the second grade level. It is a little thin and has approximately 43 pages of short activities. It is a nice book for use with thematic units.
