In reading, the 2nd graders have been working hard! This week, we talked about how in kindergarten and first grade, we learn HOW to read. In second grade, the focus is on reading to LEARN. To do that, we need to build our comprehension skills. One important part of building our comprehension is practicing "retelling" what we read. Today, the 2nd graders got to spend time reading and then met with a partner to retell what happened first, next, then and last in their story. They did a great job! Be sure to practice retelling stories at home with your child this weekend.
