What is 2 Blue?
Readers at the 2 Blue level will decode 2-syllable (baby) and compound words (cupcake) while using their fingers to cover up beginnings and endings looking for familiar chunks. Students reading at the 2 Blue level are reading words with inflectional endings (-ed, -er, -ing).
Books at the 2 Blue level include narratives with some simple characterization and simple plots. Readers at this level may be able to decode without following the meaning of the text.
When your child is reading at this level, you should hear them laughing at the stories, not just figuring out the words.

What can you do at home?
Read books to your child and share the love of reading! At this level, listening to more challenging books is just as important as independent reading because it builds your child's vocabulary!
