In Phonics; the students reviewed Digraphs using h and the Silent E helping with short and long vowels. They learned more Gr. 2 Consonant Blends and found out how Y is used as a long vowel. In Reading our 2nd grade readers will practice reading with stamina, fluency and engagement using all the strategies they learned in first grade. We will review some of them. 

Students should practice saying the short and long vowel sounds. Don't forget (y) e, and (y) i can be the long vowel sound. Our 2nd grade readers should read daily for 20 minutes making sure they use the strategies they taught them in first grade, and then respond to the following questions: Title, characters, setting, what was the problem of the story?
