2nd Grade - English Language Arts
Avon Lake City Schools
Curriculum Framework
2nd Grade ELA
Course Overview:
Students in second grade draw on their prior knowledge and experiences from first grade language arts to become more fluent readers using expression while reading. The Skills strand of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program teaches students the decoding skills needed for independent reading. The focus of English Language Arts (ELA) at the second grade level is to build comprehension through understanding story structure, using text evidence, developing a main idea with supporting details, and comparing and contrasting between texts. The Knowledge strand of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program is designed to help students build the background knowledge and vocabulary critical to listening and reading comprehension. Students will be expected to use a variety of reading skills while reading text such as visualizing, noting key details, categorizing information, and identifying problem and solution. Writing focuses on opinion, narrative, and informative writings and engages students to use more complex sentences. Students work at writing clear beginning, middle, and concluding statements and strengthen their writing through revising, editing, and collaborating with peers.
