The Teaching Helps book is used for all three Primer books in a series and includes instructions as well as information for the nature study plus tips on teaching grammar and spelling and answer keys (when applicable). There is one book to accompany the three books of the Primer 2 series. In addition to specific teacher notes for each of the daily lessons, there are introductory sections on general pedagogy and practice, weekly routine, and optional enrichment ideas. You'll want to spend a little time going over this and becoming familiar with the general instructional methodology, but daily prep is all done for you and the daily teaching notes coupled with the student books are very user-friendly. 104 pgs. paperback.

Language Lessons for Children Primer Two follows a seasonal theme throughout the series of three books. Reviewing concepts from Primer One, the Primer Two series introduces parts of speech as well as similes, personification, onomatopoeia, and alliteration. Students should have intermediate spelling and phonics proficiency (i.e. 3rd/4th grades) before starting the Primer Two series. They should also be able to read beginning chapter books with basic fluency and copy sentences and short paragraphs. Students can begin the series at their current skill level. More writing is expected with Primer Two, as students are expected to write their copywork passages in a separate composition book. Additional resources include Just So Stories (Spring), Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Spring), and two out-of-print titles Childhood’s Favorites & Other Fairy Tales and Thirty More Stories Retold. These out-of-print titles are available free in online archives.
