This course, with 168 lessons, provides a complete reading, phonics, and spelling curriculum for second grade. The basic plan of Reading 2 builds on the foundation of Reading 1. New vocabulary words, introduced in every lesson, provide core material for study and ensure that reading comprehension develops with learning to read. Having the phonics and spelling exercises grow together with reading further increases the command of words and prepares the mind for full development in reading and writing.

As in Reading 1, six stories, developed from Bible accounts and characters, are followed by a story or poem from everyday life. Bible lessons and rule for Christian character are woven throughout. Bible maps and customs, developed in a booklet of their own, are useful in expanding reading comprehension as well as Bible knowledge. The Teacher's Guide (in two volumes) gives thorough instructions with every lesson.
