Welcome to Second Grade
This will be an exciting year. I have been reading a book called The Book Whisperer. It is written by a sixth grade teacher. She writes about how her teaching of reading has evolved over the years. One thought that fits second grade is her observation that the more we practice a skill the better we get at it. Children are given reading instruction, but the more time they spend reading the better readers they become.
This year in second grade I willl be encouraging independent reading with the hope that every child will see themselves as a reader and will develop a love of books.
