The Composition section of this course begins with a comparison of Kid Writing and composition and the prerequisites students need to have before you will gradually and imaginatively guide them to bring more structure to their writing. Best practices in introducing 2nd grade-friendly modeled writing lessons, leading your class to become an excited community of writers, and in supporting reluctant writers are also shared. The Vocabulary session is an introduction of vocabulary teaching through the 2nd Grade Home Surroundings block.
