Kumon Grade 2 Writing (Kumon Writing Workbooks) Paperback – Illustrated, June 1, 2013

My 8 year old daughter is entering 3rd grade this year and needed some extra time working on her handwriting. This is a great book to practice and helps her slow down and learn to keep her letters at a consistent size. She does still get frustrated sometimes but we work on it a little each day so it's not too overwhelming.I've noticed a great improvement on her handwriting! I also appreciate that it is helping reinforce some spelling and grammar that will help her next year.

Finally, exactly what I’ve been looking for to reinforce sentence structure and vocabulary without tons of seatwork or tedious repetition. Simple, straightforward supplement written exactly at the student’s grade level. Being as these are meant to be an additional support to the child’s education, you won’t find many (if any) explanations given, the Kumon books are meant for reinforcement, not initial instruction. The layout is simple and eye catching without being distracting, and my child is easily able to complete two pages (one lesson) a day without feeling overwhelmed.

Every summer I buy workbooks for my two boys. This year I chose Kumon, I purchase the whole collection of Grade 4 for my son going into 4th grade and the whole collection of Grade 3 (thinking Grade 2 would be too easy) for my son going into 2nd grade. Later on I found that my younger son had difficulties in some areas in Grade 3 so I bought Grade 2.This has been a great guidance for my kids and I. The books helped my kids learn step by step and I really do see improvements. Its great for me, I simply use the answer sheet to correct and it helps me find out what their weaknesses are. Overall I really like Kumon workbooks compare to previous companies that I have purchased because I do see improvements. Next year I will purchase Kumon again.

Bought this for 1st grader (half way through the year) with SEVER adhd... thinking that while distracting, the colors and pictures and 'fun' of this book my capture her interest. It makes her excited to do worksheets... also the EXTREME ease of this entire workbook Also makes her excited because she can rush through them without ANY trouble. I like kumon, I love the price of kumon, the doodle likes this pictures and color... I know schools are all different and kids develop and learn and memorize at different speeds etc, but really there is zero challenge... purchased the 3rd grade (because I do REALLY love and trust kumon)... fingers crossed it will present some learning (instead of just reinforcement & practice) and even challenges.

My son needed some quick review/practice to improve his handwriting. (He's in second grade.) This book has been perfect. We do have a trading system in place (handwriting earns him screen time), but he doesn't resist practicing, and he sees the results from the first page to now. There are grammar lessons embedded in the written work, and pages vary enough that it's not too repetitive. Thank you, thank you!!!

Great addition to our homeschool curriculum.

Amazing book. After buying so many book I decided to purchade writing and reading book for my second grad son and I am working with him every day. He has improved a lot. He is reading faster. II wish they had more books for second grade.

My son is a lefty, and writing has always been a struggle. I've seen him write neat many times, but at school, he writes sloppy. He gets bored and writes too fast! This book was a great choice to hone in on those writing skills and improve the motor skills in his left hand. My son LOVES the book. It has a place for a grade on each page, and he gets excited when I give him a 100. He writes so neat with this book! Thank you Kumon Learning.
