Term 1 As students transition from Grade One to Grade Two they become more aware of their abilities and are eager to display their learnt skills. This unit serves to reinforce the language skills and strategies learnt in Grade One while exposing them to new content. The Grade Two students will continue to be immersed in a balanced literacy programme. In this unit, the learning environment will provide opportunities for improving reading and writing skills. Through games and group activities, students will interact with each other and orally practice the grammatical concepts they will learn during the unit. They will use the past tense of the verb ‘to be’ and personal pronouns to write informational and narrative pieces. The students will continue to use the writing process to write complete sentences and to support written content with facts, details and description. Teachers will model the strategies until students are competent in using the steps independently. In reading, the students will be involved in activities that will promote fluency and comprehension. They will incorporate reading skills and strategies to make predictions about text, sequence events and interpret information.

Term 2 The students have completed one term of Grade Two and are now becoming more aware of themselves as learners and are applying the skills and strategies that they have learnt. In speaking and listening, they will use appropriate words and phrases to acknowledge the contributions of others. In reading, they will begin to understand that words have different meanings in context. They will learn to generate questions about themselves as readers as well as the author’s intent. They respond to questions at different levels and will use evidence from the passage to substantiate predictions and inferences. They will continue to employ comprehension strategies as they read. In this unit, they are exposed to homophones and will be able to apply the rules for writing the past tense of regular verbs. They continue to use the writing process to create poems and stories. Their writings reflect correct use of capital letters, commas and the full stop. They will be exposed to identifying the subject in a sentence and the usage of pronouns as subjects.
