- That was unclear... it is the 2nd grade R&S phonics workbooks that I think are so awesome. A student who uses the 2nd grade phonics from R&S (separate from the accompanying readers and reader workbooks) will receive complete phonics instruction. But I think they would be frustrating for a beginning reader... make sure your child can read at the 2nd grade level before beginning these. nt - Robin in Tx 11:59 May 28
