Second grade builds place value to the hundreds, 2-digit addition and subtraction, measuring with a ruler, counting money and telling the time, with first steps into equal groups and fractions. Readers move on to long vowel sounds and spelling patterns, find details and the order of events in a story, and fix capitals, apostrophes and commas.

ZUNBIX has 82 2nd grade skills across math, reading, science, social studies, coding and art, and twelve games that all pitch themselves at 2nd grade, then move up or back with your child.

Questions parents ask

Is ZUNBIX really free for 2nd grade?

Yes. All twelve games, every lesson and the parent dashboard are free. There is no subscription and nothing to buy: the coins children earn are pretend and only unlock outfits, pets and trophies inside ZUNBIX.

Does my 2nd grader need an account or an email address?

No sign-up is needed to play. Your child makes a player with a first name or nickname and a grade, and it is saved in this browser. If you want progress kept across devices, a grown-up can sign in on the parents page. Children never sign in and never give an email address.

Are there ads or chat?

No. ZUNBIX shows no adverts, has no chat or messages and no public leaderboards, and shows nothing about your child to other players. The children's privacy page sets out exactly what is stored.

What 2nd grade math does ZUNBIX cover?

25 math skills for 2nd grade: Place Value, Addition & Subtraction, Measurement & Data, Geometry, Fair Shares, Multiplication & Division, Fractions & Decimals, Money & Time, Word Problems. Each one is matched to the Common Core standards for the grade, with hints before answers and a worked explanation after a miss.

What 2nd grade reading does ZUNBIX cover?

24 reading and language skills for 2nd grade: Phonics, Sight Words, Sentence Building, Reading Comprehension, Spelling & Vocabulary, Reading Fluency, Grammar, Punctuation, Writing. They are matched to the Common Core English Language Arts standards for the grade.

What if my child is ahead of or behind 2nd grade?

The grade is only where ZUNBIX starts. A short starting check in math and reading finds the right level, every round moves up or back with your child's answers, and a gap points back to the earlier skill it needs. You can change the grade at any time.

Does it read the questions aloud?

Yes. Read-aloud is on from the start, and every question has a Listen button, so a child who reads slowly can still play every game. It can be turned off in the sound settings.

How long should a 2nd grader play?

A practice round is 8 questions, a few minutes. Grown-ups can set a daily goal on the parents page, and the dashboard shows what was practised, what has stuck and what is worth another round.

Does it work on a tablet or Chromebook?

Yes. ZUNBIX runs in the web browser on computers, Chromebooks, tablets and phones, so there is nothing to download or install.
