Year 2 Highlight

This term the students in Year 2 have been working on improving their reading fluency.  Our goal is to get to 20 minutes of silent reading by the end of the year! Did you know, if you read for 20 minutes a day, you will be exposed to 1.8 million words a year! 

Our reading lesson includes plenty of opportunities for reading practice and to focus on reading skills and comprehension. Our reading lesson includes…

• Silent reading (12 minutes)
• A shared book and lesson about the reading focus
• Rotation activities to practice handwriting, spelling and book response work
• Guided Reading lesson (small group reading with the teacher)

The students have been great at being self managing during these times and have shown lots of improvement in their work!
