Grade 2

In second grade, students work on reading fluently with appropriate rate, expression, phrasing, and accuracy. They work on reading with purpose and understanding, increasing their stamina for reading independently.

Students continue to learn how to create informational, opinion, and narrative writing through our Empowering Writers Program, which uses literature and other published examples as a jumping off point for instruction. Children will see high quality writing and hear high quality stories to help them understand what their writing should look and sound like. The A Sentence A Day routine through Empowering Writers teaches students grammar rules and sentence structure.

We continue to work with students to participate in collaborative conversations and demonstrate the standard English grammar in speaking and in writing.

Our phonics program is Fundations, which builds on the foundation established in kindergarten and first grade with sound-spelling correspondences, spelling strategy development, and handwriting.
