Second Grade Writing Units

How To Support Your Child At Home Throughout the Units

*You can model great storytelling, talk about your day!  Story-tell an event from your day. Make sure to include transition words like first, next, then, and finally. Have your child tell you something he or she has a strong feeling about that happened that day, encourage transition words. Support your child to zoom in on one part of the day, have them stretch out the story, adding in sensory details.  This oral rehearsal will help your child become a stronger writer.

*Familiarize your child with the letter writing format: Write letters to family members!

*As always-read! Be sure to expose your child to all genres of texts!
