Comprehension Bookmarks?
Reading is a vital component of our second grade curriculum and as students become more proficient readers, we see major gains in their success across all curricular areas. As you read together each evening please take advantage of the Comprehension Bookmarks attached. Students are familiar with them as we use them in class often. These bookmarks can be used to discuss what students are reading in the evenings. They are a wonderful building block to gauge understanding of grade level texts. Enjoy!
