Get Ready For 2nd Grade!
Some of you have asked what you can do with your child over the summer to help them stay prepared for 2nd grade! This page has ideas and important concepts if you would like to review during the break!
Keep reading just right books!
Click here for a “Leveled Book List.” This is a long list of books at various levels. The levels are shown as a letter instead of the DRA numbers. To the left is a conversion chart so you can figure out the correct letter to look for. The letters under “Scholastic Guided Reading Level” are the same levels listed on the leveled book list. Look for your child’s DRA level, then notice what letter it corresponds to. For example, if your child is reading a DRA level 12, you would look for Level G book titles on the Leveled Book List.
Once you find your child’s level you can search for the titles on Epic Books. You'll have remote learning access through June 30th with Epic.
Use this bookmark to practice word solving strategies. These strategies are also used in 2nd grade.
