Language Smarts C by The Critical Thinking Co.

I've never been a huge fan of worksheets.  An unschooler at heart, I am drawn towards that which promotes natural learning.  However, sometimes my kids adore having a worksheet or two to work through.  And who am I to deprive them of that joy?  If I must give them worksheets, these are the ones.  I admit to being impressed with this book. 

Language Smarts C is designed for second grade.  It is a thick book, chock full of bright, colorful pages that teach your child everything from palindromes to vowels to mnemonics.  It teaches grammar, comprehension, visual skills, phonic practice, writing skills, punctuation, etc. This is a full book.  And it's cheery and inviting and, dare I say, visually appealing.  It's not your average, dull looking workbook.  It's huge and it's beautiful and it made my second grader get excited about worksheets.

At $39.99, it's a pricey workbook.  What makes it worthwhile is that it is reproducible for your family.  There are topics in here that my 4th grader has not yet covered, so I printed off a couple of sheets for her.  You can print it in color right on your home copier/printer and it retains the visual appeal.  If you're a fan of worksheets, you will love these.  If not, check them out anyway and see what you think.  I was surprised how much I enjoy this book!
