English in Grade 2
Grade 2 is a big year for mental math and spelling. Children work with numbers to 1,000, learn their first times tables, and read the clock to the quarter hour or five minutes.
- Read the words aloud together. Hearing and saying words strengthens memory.
- Use new vocabulary from the games in everyday conversation.
- For spelling, encourage “look, say, cover, write, check” away from the screen too.
- Praise effort and strategies (“you sounded it out!”), not just correct answers.
