AB Grade 2 English Topics
- Oral language and communication: Listening to and building on others' ideas, using non-verbal cues, adjusting communication style for different audiences, initiating and maintaining extended conversations, and contributing a personal voice in different contexts.
- Phonics and word study: Consolidating knowledge of phonemes, blending and segmenting sounds in complex words, understanding morphemes to determine word meaning, recognizing high-frequency words, and using knowledge of letter sounds and word parts to spell familiar and unfamiliar words.
- Reading and comprehension: Using prior knowledge to make predictions, making connections to texts, using text features from multimodal fiction and nonfiction, recalling and selecting important information, discussing information from more than one source, and using strategies such as visualizing and rereading to confirm understanding.
- Writing conventions and sentence structure: Using upper and lowercase letters appropriately, applying punctuation conventions, producing simple and compound sentences, using specific word choice, and experimenting with different organizational patterns.
- Text creation and representing: Creating short multimodal texts such as oral stories, posters, written stories, and informational reports; using digital tools to draft ideas; planning with strategies like brainstorming and word webbing; and integrating more than one mode to communicate for a specific purpose and audience.
- Reflection and self-assessment: Setting learning goals, using tools such as rubrics and checklists to self-assess, monitoring and tracking progress, and reflecting on accomplishments with guidance.
