Learning Language Arts Through Literature: Red Program, Grade 2

The Common Sense Press second grade reading program continues phonics instruction that will bring confidence and fluency to the beginning reader. The updated third edition is even easier to use with three new readers that give your student more practice in mastering phonics.
