BJU Press Reading 2B Student Text (3rd Edition)

Reading 2B: Hearts and Hands is the second in a series of four readers in the BJU Press Reading 2 curriculum (each reader is sold-separately). Engaging artwork changes with each story and provides visual interest for early readers.

Before some selections, an easy-to-understand page introduces relevant literary elements; for example, children might learn about the setting of a story before reading a passage where the setting plays an important role. "Think as you Read" questions give students a focus to keep in mind as they read through the selection.

The story is followed by a "Think and Discuss" section that features discussion questions and new vocabulary; "Look Again" sections that provide an additional activity or question are also included after some passages.

Interesting and developmentally-appropriate selections come from a variety of sources, including realistic and historical fiction, fables, folktales, Bible accounts, biography, drama, and poetry. Chapters progress in difficulty and are sequenced for readability and skill progression.

220 pages, softcover, indexed. 2nd Grade.
