What are we doing in school?Second grade is an awesome year in school when it comes to reading. Throughout the year we will learn strategies and skills to not only strengthen our ability to read, we will also learn comprehension skills so we can better understand what we read. This will help students develop a love of reading and develop appropriate study skills that will be highly beneficial as they continue their education.

What can you do at home?In addition to the practice at school, home should also be a place to help foster a student's reading ability. In order for this to happen, students should be reading 15-20 minutes a night at home in addition to any other reading homework that is sent home with the student. Always have your student talk about what they have read for the night!
