Busy Times - Reader 1 is the first reader for grade 2. Peter, Andrew, Rachel and their parents have interesting times living on the farm. Share their adventures and family fun. Pathway readers are a delight to use. From an Amish publisher, they offer wholesome reading and great family stories. While simple in appearance, they are excellent material for a very economical price. The workbooks associated with each reader offer questions to answer, some phonics review, and a good vocabulary study. These can be used as a reading program, or just buy the readers to have some excellent reading material on hand.
