Evan-Moor Daily Language Review, Grade 2

I use this as morning work. I copy a whole week in a packet form. My students know to come in and get right to work. I love that it provides opportunity to review material we may not have discussed in a while. It has touched on some topics we haven't addressed yet and it's a great way to introduce it and have a quick mini-lesson on various LA topics!

I use this as morning warm up while I take attendance, do lunches, etc. The class has time to complete the 5 questions while I get the administrative tasks complete.The kids love the challenge of finding the correct answers each morning and it only takes 10 minutes to complete and then we have a quick mini-lesson to discuss our answer choices. This book is great for supplementing your Language Arts curriculum.

I use this book in conjunction with the daily math review as a morning work review. It covers a variety of grammar and phonics questions. It is perfect practice for my students. They always need help with grammar.

This is a great review/practice for my son who is 6 years old and in 1st grade. This is a great introduction to correcting sentences and writing correctly. My son is able to read the sentences and about 80% of the time can correct them on his own. We do one lesson a day and 2-3 on the weekends. I really do love the layout of this book. We are on week 5 I believe, and I can tell a difference in the way my son is speaking. You can tell this book and review is changing his verbiage that he uses when speaking. My goal is by the time we get halfway through the book, he will be able to do most of these on his own. He is being introduced to commas, more challenging homophones and knowing when to add a word and remove a word, as well as using the correct tense in the sentence. I would definitely recommend this book!

I really like these daily language books. Our daughter is an ELL and really needs additional help with the basics of the English Language. I originally bought her Grade 3, but decided to back her up to the Grade 1 book due to her having a bit of difficulty with some of the vocabulary words at that level. She is an older adopted child and is pretty much learning English from the ground up, so we go through the weekly lessons, and I explain the rules behind it. She is learning some English at school, but there just isn't enough time for the school to go through everything that she needs to learn, so I supplement at home with this book. I really like it and, more importantly, she feels comfortable with it.

I teach 1st and 2nd grade and I didn't feel my students were getting enough grammar practice in the language arts curriculum. These have been GREAT! I bought the 1st grade book also. A lot of the kids really enjoy doing these. They're simple but get the job done. I'm very impressed with how much more my students have learned this year than the year before I had these books. Highly recommend!

Great for homeschool language lessons. 6 trait writing books go well with it too. Evan Moore makes great workbooks I can use for all my children because they can be photocopied for my homeschool classroom.

I love anything that teaches in short chunks and the DLRs are the best! My students are special ed 6th through 8th grade, but read on very low levels. This book provides excellent editing practice without coming across as too baby-ish. I love these books and will probably end up owning the whole set one day! Highly recommended!

Focuses on grammar errors and sentence corrections a lot, and that is quite useful at this stage. We like it. Does not require parental supervision, its more of a open and go workbook.

Used this to help my 6 yr old with writing and punctuation.

Phonetically based spelling. I will use it in my grade 2 classroom starting in January.

Error correction is a big focus in this book (I purchased grades 2 & 4). Although that is a good skill to have, grammar & spelling skills are just developing (especially in grade 2 versus higher grades), so this isn't really independent work, unless a student is quite advanced in their grammar and spelling knowledge. I find that kids don't catch the errors because they either don't know the grammar rule that has been broken, or realize that a word has been spelled wrong. If you're looking for an open and go, independent workbook for your child, this isn't it. Seems like the reviews say otherwise, but I disagree. These daily lessons require a teacher/parent to sit with the child and explain the grammar or spelling error if it hasn't been previously taught or isn't mastered. I'd recommend the spelling and grammar books from Evan Moore instead, if you're wanting actual spelling and grammar instruction. This Daily Review would work well as mini assessments after the actual lessons from the other books have been taught.
