This review is from: Writing, Grade 2 (Spectrum) (Paperback)

We found the Spectrum Writing books to be good summer practice for our kids. We just happen to homeschool, but they would be equally valuable to anyone. The books are organized around different styles (e.g. writing to entertain, descriptive writing, writing to explain, etc.). They are illustrated and have key sections highlighted in color. The pages are perforated and easily removed.

There are just enough lessons (typically 40-50) to keep my kids busy throughout the summer. I usually only ask that they do one lesson per day, since I don't want them to hurry through their writing. Also I ask them to write as neatly a possible, with correct punctuation and spelling.

Overall, the Spectrum Writing books are a useful compilation of small writing assignments - an area that many kids (mine included) need practice with. Check out a few sample pages (an option by the product), to get a better idea of the lesson difficulty.

Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workbook for beginner writers, January 3, 2011

This review is from: Writing, Grade 2 (Spectrum) (Paperback)

I bought both 2nd and 3rd grade workbooks. The 2nd grade workbook provides building blocks for writing. The 3rd grade workbook builds on those building blocks and takes it forward. So they are not just a repitition of each other but a systematic way to teach writing to beginners in the right way.
