Thank you for your advice. I will have to look into that. I also have a 2 year old at home that loves to help and distract us.

I have a 7 year old and she's not very good at spelling, I just started this program and she knows how to spell certain words and now I am trying to teach her the guidelines the reasoning behind the spelling of the words instead of memorizing them. Is this book where I just read from the book and work the exercerises with her? Is there another book that I can use with this book? I just want to make sure I am doing things right. Trying to get her on the right track and learning from my mistakes from how I was taught. Also, how do you feel about teaching grammer in 2nd grade, what other things should I be doing with her at home. I feel like her school is not giving enough. I have math covered, but with 3rd grade coming up I am trying to get her ready too for this coming up summer. Thank you for any advice you can give me since I am new at this.

I have a 7 yr/2nd grade and need some advice on how to help her decide what the main idea, detail idea is in the story. She has a MAP testing coming up and I am trying to prepare her for the test. They have on her school website a program to practice, but she keeps getting the detail information wrong in the examples that they give. Is there a book out there that we can work together on to help her with comprehension, detail information? Like how do I help or teach her that this is the detail information and all the other things are just information.
