Slimkop

CAPS · Grade 2

Grade 2 homework help, in line with CAPS

Grade 2 is when children learn to read, write and count. Slimkop is built for you and your child to use together. It can read its words aloud, it shows how to write every letter and number, and it teaches the letter sounds. Your child traces letters with a finger and sounds out words, with you close by.

The one rule

Slimkop never gives the answer. It asks the question that helps your child work it out, and a right answer only counts once they can explain it.

What your Grade 2 child gets

  • Help with homework and projects in every subject, step by step. Slimkop never gives the answer: your child works it out.
  • A photo of the homework is enough to start.
  • Letters and sounds: watch each letter and number being written, trace it with a finger and learn the sounds.
  • A short quick test of 5 questions that you read aloud together.
  • Daily reading: a new short Grade 2 story every day, about 100 to 160 words, with 5 questions.
  • Built on the official CAPS documents, plus free DBE workbooks and Siyavula textbooks.
  • In English or Afrikaans: your child picks.
  • In Parent view you see every chat, the time spent and the marks per CAPS topic.

How Slimkop helps a Grade 2 learner

  3. SlimkopGood try. 14 is 10 and 4. Let's add the small part first. What is 4 + 5?
