Spelling and Grammar for Kids 2nd Grade Edition

Build Your Child’s Confidence with Improved Spelling, Reading and Spelling Bee Preparation

By: W. B. Scott

Narrated by: Brian Jeffords

We've created this audiobook to help children with spelling, grammar, and spelling bee preparedness. This book provides 16 weeks of 4 days of practice with a 5th day to see what they have learned. It is important to acknowledge any improvement they have made no matter how big their win. I am sure this goes without saying as we all have known children who excel in spelling naturally and those that have to really put in the time to make progress like I did.

According to edutopia.org, solid research has shown that spelling instruction has improved performance in reading fluency and comprehension. It even showed that the practice of spelling helps the child's ability to read more than reading helps their spelling. In fact, it is so helpful in development that there is a strong connection between the ability to spell with ease and writing with eloquence. Fluent handwriting skills and being able to spell easily sets the foundation for children to be able to construct written work.

Now that more schools are leaving out spelling, many are left with the inability to read well and think. It is our hope that this audiobook will help your child to experience more success not only in language arts but also in the ability to analyze and problem solve throughout their lives, giving them a sense of confidence and independence that sloppy thinking just can’t.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Helpful for my 2nd grader

I like having the audio version of this book because it's a way I can help my son with his spelling while I'm also doing something else like making dinner or folding laundry. I can put it on for him to practice a list each day and I'm there to help him if he's struggling to remember the spelling, but my hands are free to keep making our dinner. It's helpful and FULL of spelling lists.

Fun listen

My grandchildren and I really enjoyed listening to the book together. It really helped they hear the word in a sentence, write the word, see the word on the pdf and hear the word spelled as well. The repetition is amazing and effective. I also played the audio in the car and we would cheer when the word was spelled correctly and it was fun! There are many ways to use this audio to make learning easier and exciting! Highly recommended for families with children learning to spell.

Breaking it down for busy families

We all know the correlation between reading and spelling. Any improvement in either will boost your child's self-confidence as they keep up with, if not surpass, their peers. The practical aspects of the lessons in this book are great for both audio and visual learners. The tip for using a whiteboard is genius. Be sure to get the PDF download of the word lists.

Perfect for the kiddos! They love the examples.

What I liked most about this audiobook were the creative examples and uses of the spelling words in sentences. They were always age-appropriate, happy, and cheerful. My kiddos' favorite section was List 3 Day 5, and they unanimously decided that their favorite word of the day was "between" because "it sounds cool."
The narration was spot-on and gave the impression of a school teacher. Highly recommend to any parent of a 2nd grader if you want easy supplemental spelling and grammar practice!

An Excellent Resource to Polish Spelling.

Spelling and Grammar for Kids 2nd Grade Edition, is a fantastic tool for improving vocabulary and spelling. I appreciate how the audio version is organized: after reading the word, the narrator reads a phrase including it before giving you 10 seconds to spell it. The storyteller then spells the word. It seems like a terrific method to practice spelling while you're on the run. Both teachers and students will benefit much from reading this book.
