BJU Press Reading 2A Student Text (3rd Edition; Updated Copyright)

BJU Press’ Reading 2A: All God's Creatures is the first in a series of four readers in the BJU Press Reading 2 curriculum (each reader is sold-separately). Engaging artwork changes with each story and provides visual interest for early readers. Before reading the selection, an easy-to-understand page introduces a relevant literary element; for example, children might learn about onomatopoeia ("sound effect words") before reading a poem that features words like "thump" or "buzz." The story is followed by a "Think and Discuss" section that features discussion questions and new vocabulary, and often also features a "Look Again" section that provides an additional activity or question. Interesting and developmentally appropriate reading selections come from a variety of sources, including realistic and historical fiction, fables, folktales, Bible accounts, biography, drama, and poetry. Chapters progress in difficulty and are sequenced for readability and skill progression. 208 pages, softcover. Grade 2.
