Daily Reading Comprehension, Grade 2

Evan-Moor’s Daily Reading Comprehension is a fantastic tool for building reading skills. The short, engaging passages and questions help students improve comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking. It’s easy to use, consistent, and perfect for classrooms or homeschooling. Highly recommended!

We homeschool and love this for second grade reading comprehension. Stories are entertaining and hold my son’s attention. Love that there’s questions to answer about what we just read. Here’s a sample from the book- It’s a great price, too!

My six year old was reading above grade level so her teacher recommended this book. We go through one passage a day and talk about the questions. She likes the selection of stories and I like that the questions make her think about what she's reading. Great to practice reading skills and reading comprehension. Good supplement for an on level 2nd grader, a 1st grader looking for more advanced reading passages, or a 3rd grader needing a little help.

This book is perfect reading comprehension practice for my 7 yr old (1st grader). The stories are short, the questions are at level for a 1-2 grader. Strong recommendation for anyone wants some extra reading comprehension support for their 1-2 grader.

Great for struggling readers

I have really enjoyed using this book for my son. I think they did a really great job with one major flaw for kiddos who are great with pattern recognition. My son is autistic and he picked up on a pattern that I didn’t realize until almost the end of the book. Almost every passage has correct answers using A, B, C, and D in some combination for the passage. There are few passages where A is used twice as the correct answer (for example). That means that my child could always figure out the 4th answer without even looking at the question and got upset for the few passages that didn’t fit the pattern. I think that this isn’t a major concern for most neurotypical children but it is something that should be looked at for future editions.

Perfecto

I bought both the Grade 1 and Grade 2 Daily Reading Comprehension Evan Moor books for my daughter's reading comprehension. We started when she was seven and finished when she was eight. She had completed the All About Reading program a few years before and she seemed to read well, but for some reason she didn't seem to retain the information or understand it. Also she would not read to herself at all. I gained the impression that she didn't think she was good at it. These books really helped my daughter to gain some confidence in her reading abilities and to understand what to pay attention to while reading. I think the first book worked better for her because the illustration with each passage engaged her. But I also think that the second book without the illustration helped her gain more confidence in her reading skills because there was no picture to clue her in. The Skill Practice section went well but the Strategy Practice section was too open ended and she wouldn't do it at all. Not much writing required which worked for my daughter well.

We use this for homeschooling and it is a great addition.

Useful

I love these comprehension books! Great for kids who can read it but aren’t focusing on what they are reading. It’s very doable with a paragraph to read and answer questions about, so it isn’t overwhelming. Ive used them with 3 of my kids so far and they are wonderful and affordable!

Great contents! But no colours at all so less causing interest. If you focus on the contents, 5stars!

Too much American questions, also the answers are difficult to understand. For this age they should be definitive. But they aren't. I as an adult had to check the answers in the back to confirm....definitely not a good book, and definitely not recommended .
