From the CMS 2nd Grade Family Curriculum Guide:
Second graders continue to develop basic reading skills and fluency. Students in second grade move from learning to read to reading to learn. Instruction in phonics and phonemic awareness, blending and decoding will occur daily to provide fluency while reading. Students will continue to develop comprehension strategies and skills.
Second graders will strengthen their phonetic foundation.
Students review phonetic spellings, blending and decoding skills. They will be using these skills with longer and more complicated words. Students will practice these skills by reading decodable take-home books that directly correlate to the phonetic skill taught in class.
Second graders will increase reading vocabulary.
Second graders read authentic literature that revolves around integrating concepts across the curriculum. Anthologies include poetry, fiction and nonfiction stories.
Second graders will learn new words and ideas.
Second graders will be exposed to many new words and extend their vocabulary through group discussions. The students will develop concepts and vocabulary through an interactive Concept/Question board. Comprehension strategies and skills will be modeled by the teacher and practiced by the students.
