Focus Course 2nd Gd: Reading
This three-part course is a MUST! The first session is a review of the steps of teaching reading which was shared in our 1st grade sessions and reviews what your reading instruction in beginning Phonemic Awareness Phase entails. In the second session you learn how to set up and lead mid- to late Phonemic Awareness Phase differentiated guided reading groups as the students begin reading unknown decodable text. The last session guides you through the dynamic process of supporting your 2nd graders as they become Pattern Phase readers, ready now to build reading fluency. How to support all your readers, whether they are above, below or at the Pattern Phase reading level, is the key goal of this section of the course.
