Ok, I suppose, but seems a little below my standards for second grade.It is probably good practice for standardized reading tests.The reading topics are interesting for children that age. Mars rovers, trees, rocks, and cave children tell you what they would say if they could somehow communicate with us. Then the student is asked to find or infer the answers to a series of questions on the reading. If you are a home school family or just concerned about the information your children receive and when, you should be prepared to discuss how long ago dinosaurs and other species lived and whether or not there may be life on other planets, along with other issues.It does not (other than the vast periods of time listed) seem to actually push a theory of origin for how "humans appeared," and interestingly, points out that a trillion tons of coal should last a long, long, time. Another interesting quote is placed in the mouth of the cave boy, who wants us to know that living in a cave does not make him "not" much different from apes. He then points out his similarities with us, along with some differences in the way we live.All in all, though I am not a fan of the basic workbook format in general, it does have some utility.I am still of a divided mind about the passages themselves. There are some subjects that may be controversial to some people, but there is enough ambiguity in the way they are covered that people on either side of these debates may find reason for offence, and a thoughtful child and parent can have some good conversations. In a way, this might be considered a high interest, low reading level type book - the topics and conversations that ensue are perhaps more suited to a more mature child than the exercises themselves seem to be.
