Second grade is a huge transition for a child. They have a longer school day, and more intensified work. They jump from a focus of learning how to build words with all the different blends of letter sounds, to now the focus of learning being comprehension. Many of the students in my class have never been exposed to chapter books in first grade, and hardly have a chance to step into a library to be exposed to them. I plan on using the chapter books "Frankly Frannie", "The Magic Tree House", "Freckle Juice" and "Judy Moody" to not only build their vocabulary but also to start building a better understanding of reading.
These chapter books would not be a replacement for the curriculum given to me but as an extension to my curriculum. There is no better way to increase knowledge in a child than reading a good book!
