Grade 2 Reading (Kumon Reading Workbooks) : Kumon: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Very good for kids - Good Review: Just what you need - This book adopts a very good incremental approach to make kids learn. The reading content is superb and makes kids read what they do in those ages. I have seen some books where basic sentences are taught with examples that are not known / relevant to their age.

Very Good Homework Book
Kumon Reading 2 is a homework book that is suitable for children who are studying the KS1 curriculum to practise phonics and reading comprehensions. I found its no stress "step-by-step" slowly but firmly approach helps my sons, who doesn't like writing much, to improve his skills. The attractive illustrations and colourful pages makes doing homework less painful. I found this book a good introduction workbook. The book has 36 exercises. The first half of the book (exercise 1-26) is a review of vowels, consonants, compound words, synonyms, plurals, sequence and who/when/where/why/what. Then from Exercise 27 onwards, the book deals with reading comprehensions. Similar to Kumon Grade 1 Reading book, the answers required for the Reading comprehensions were in "fill-in-the-blank" sentences style with key answers blank out, and the rest of sentences already printed. For example: Question: Is the character a boy or a girl? Answer: The character is a _____. (The child needs to write the actual answer: boy.) I feel that this makes learning process less stressful for beginners as it requires writing the key part of the answers only but yet they could gain ideas of how to answer questions properly in sentence format. My son certainly benefited from it. He likes working on Kumon Reading Workbook range much better than others. The only thing I don't really like about Kumon Reading book range is that it suffers the problem of having American contents. Like the Kumon Word Problem range in Maths, I need to check the wordings on the exercises and reading material before letting my son working on it. A couple of such examples are: (1) a story is based on some basic knowledge of Baseball, and (2) it uses the word FALL rather than Autumn. For this reason, it can only be used as a complimentary workbook to the other UK workbooks such as Collins and Schofield & Sims.

この本は小4の3月から取り組みました。 出てくる単語は、first,fur、horn、hard,jar,cart,fork、hen,fun,soil,boil、join、loud、round、mouth、mouse、arrow、bow、crow、throw他多数。フォニックスの考え方を入れて単語が並んでいるので、読みの予想ができます。 カラフルなイラストも添えてあるのでいいです。 くっつき言葉=uphill、rainbow,snowflake、fireplaceなど。同義語=coldとicy、bigとlarge、strongとsturdyなど。反意語=upとdown、leftとright、inとout、topとbottom、smileとfrownなど。疑問詞、短いお話と読解力問題、短いお話(160語まで程)を読んでイラストの順序をととのえるなど。短い文章には過去完了、stop to doも、仮定法もでてきます。 短い文章はくすっと笑えるオチがあり、楽しいものもあります。 また、簡単な科学的な論説文もあります。 他に子どもの身近な日常生活、アリとキリギリス(他にも童話があります)、飼い犬の視点から書かれた女の子と飼い犬の話も。 文法の説明はきっちりしなくても、日本語でざっくり意味を教えてやって、子どもは意味が分かった上でスラスラ読み慣れるといいと思います。 その音を聞き慣れてから、仮定法や過去完了の文法を教えたらいいと思います。 日本人幼児向け、小学生向けの問題集より圧倒的に語彙が増えます。短い文では、中3の教科書くらいの長さでしょうか。もっと長いかもしれません。日本人向け問題集より英文に慣れられます。 英語学習歴は小3の11月から。家で、アルクの絵じてんで単語を聞くところからです。 教室通いはしていなくて、両親とも英語は喋れません。 中学英語は理解できる母親と取組中。Grade1で形式や出題・紙面に慣れているので戸惑うことなく1日1課しています。 1日目、2日目、1週間後、2週間後、1か月後、の目安で5回同じページを繰り返して。 (後ろの方の文章を読む部分では7回位繰り返すかもしれません) 順調に進めており、同じクラスで英検2級に合格している(保育園からall Englishのところに通っている)子にはかなわないけれど、ちまたの英語教室に小3くらいから通っている子よりよくできると言っています。本人の感覚なので、何とも言えませんが。 しかし、力はやっただけついているようです。 設問も答えも、必ず音読させるよう気をつけています。 小5の1月に受けた英検5級では満点合格しました。小4終わりに5級問題をさせたら、文法問題ができなかったので小5初めから中1問題集を3回繰り返しました。 中学に上がる前でないと時間が取れないので、小学生で取り組むのにいい本だと思います。
