My son is in 3rd grade so we are working out of the 2nd/3rd level and it is challenging for him, but in a good way. I don’t think he could have handled it in 2nd grade, though. There isn’t much space for writing in the workbook, so I sometimes have to have him dictate his answers to me. There are 3 choices for end of unit projects, one choice requires another material, so be prepared to buy that also if you want to use those options.
