Primer Two reviews and builds on Primer One skills, adding a gentle introduction to eight parts of speech in the context of the literary selection. Students become familiar with simile, personification, onomatopoeia, and alliteration.
Primer Two: Teaching Helps accompanies Primer Two Autumn, Primer Two Winter, Primer Two Spring - covers all three books in one handy reference. Provides detailed instructions for conducting Copybook, Narration, Grammar & Spelling, Nature Study, and Picture Study lessons, notes and teacher tips for weekly lessons, and an Answer Key for exercises which warrant it. Before beginning Primer Two, a student should have achieved intermediate spelling and phonics proficiency, be able to read beginning chapter books with basic fluency, and be able to copy sentences and short paragraphs. Primer Two is very generally appropriate for 3rd-4th grade students but could be used very effectively by older students as well.
