Language Arts

Our reading program builds on the literacy skills previously learned as students continue to learn more complex words and read more rigorous texts. Second graders' exposure to literacy genres expands to reading more complex fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. The reading skills that second graders will develop include understanding key details in a text, identifying story structure, and analyzing character’s point of view.  This is taught through both whole and small group instruction.  In writing, students will have the opportunity to write personal narratives, opinion writing, informational writing, letter writing, and poetry. 

Our goal is to build fluency and comprehension. Kids are still learning to read, as opposed to reading to learn.

• Students should be reading for at least 15-20 minutes every night.
