Description
This 9th reader in the Abeka® Grade 2 program should be read after a student has mastered the equivalent of Phonics Charts 6-13. Each of the 15, 4-page animal stories introduce young readers to informative writings and help students gain an understanding of God’s purposeful design in creation. As such, this book would make a great tie-in with early animal studies in science (discussing woodland animals and pets, songbirds, and animals from around the world). Parents, be prepared! The very first story talks in 2nd person about how much young children like getting pets and what that experience is like.
Nature photos and a quick reference page are included for each animal, so students can learn about their habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and interesting facts. Includes Words to Watch For; Words to Practice; What Do You Think; and Think of This questions, with Scripture tie-ins that help students process content. Students will also write about their favorite habitat and animal. A detailed, 8-page animal glossary is included at the end, along with a 2-page overview of God as Creator. You will find answers to the comprehension questions in the Reading 2 Answer Key with Literary Development and Enrichment Activities. This is the Homeschool Teacher Edition Resource. 206 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
