Reading Growth Spurt

In reading, we have been working hard on setting up expectations and routines for our Reader's Workshop. Our first reading unit is on the "Second Grade Reading Growth Spurt." We have learned that second graders grow as readers, just like they do in all aspects of life. They have also learned that in 2nd grade, they decide HOW they read. When they read a book, they can look for clues within the book as to how the book should be read. They also got to practice listening to their own fluency with this skill using "whisper phones." They did a great job!
