BALANCED LITERACY• Letterland: The focus is on phonemic
awareness, spelling rules and fluency.• Reading Series: Students will learn
about story elements, predicting, inferences, author’s purpose, cause and effect, fact and opinion, retelling a story and fluency.
• Literacy Café: Students learn reading strategies and apply them to books that are a good fit and are of interest to them.
This year, we will build upon the Letterland skills that were learned in first grade. Some important skills that will be introduced are: *Six syllable types
*blends and diagraphs *r-controlled vowels *magic e *suffixes –ed and -es *short
vowels*prefixes dis-, un-, re, and pre- *contractions*consonant doubling *multi-syllable words*new spelling patterns ph, gh, -tion, -ture
