Reading Skills for 2nd Graders

 My lesson is about understanding how to read words with 22 blended consonant sounds and recognizing compound words . The lesson goal is for students to be able to sound out multiple blend words such as strip, black, crash, chest, within a simple sentence structure. Students will use segmented virtual cards to sound out each word. Students will then use Google slides to practice the blends with other sounds. Followed by a read along using the same words. 

 My lesson is about students being able to recognize 2nd grade level sight words. These words are words that cannot be sound out using phonemic awareness. Words like friend, mother, together, sure, wreck. Students will recognize words with virtual word cards, the teacher saying the word, and the student repeating the word. They will then do a word sort on a Google Slide, followed by being able to read the words in a story. 

 In this lesson, we will work on understanding relationships between words like cause and effect, antonym (opposites) and synonyms (same), part to whole, and small to large. 

 This lesson focuses on learning and reinforcing vocabulary where words have multiple meaning. We will also work on understanding contextual meanings of words when we see them in different types of texts.
