small medium large Moving Up Reading to Your Child Moms and Dads, read to your child every day. They need to hear good reading. Hearing and reading quality literature is most important in building good vocabulary and modeling good sentence structure. Reading With Your Child When you sit down to read with your child, you can read in different ways. The following methods are used in education to help children model good reading. Echo Reading- you read a page or paragraph orally and your child repeats reading the same selection orally. Choral Reading- just like a chorus, you and your child read orally together using the same passage. Partner Reading- you read a page or paragraph orally and then your child reads the next page or paragraph orally. There are many reading skills to uncover, discover, and learn while reading with your child. These skills put together are what we call comprehension. There are many skills covered in second grade. To make it easier for you during the summer vacation, discuss the story while you read. Predict what will happen next, draw conclusions, find the main idea, list details, find the problem in the story, find the solution, describe the characters by what they do and what they say. Have your child ask you questions about the story. Make reading an enjoyable experience together. Print out the Dulch Word List. A website that can be used is Jan Brett's. This is a colorful presentation of the most commonly used words in the English language. The Dulch Word List will be very good to build sight words. These words will also be good to learn how to spell. Reading Book Lists are listed under FAQ on the home page. Moving Up Jump Into Math Let's develop Number Sense! We will be counting from 1 to 999. Find "hands on" ways to practice. What is a one? What is a group of ten? What is a group of 100? Make this fun. Can you eat 1 pea? How about eating 10 peas? Who can eat 100 peas? (Mom or Dad) Place value example: 149 - What is the value of the 1, the 4, and the 9? (4 groups of 10 with 10 in each group or another way of saying 40) Master number facts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Second grade takes each fact family to the sum of 19. We start with the 10's family. Subtraction also goes to the 19 family. Let's go shopping! Practice using money: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars. While on vacation have the children count out the money for that special treat. Don't forget to count your change! Is it time to go to bed? Take time for that afternoon nap! Time to eat? Time to go swimming? Time to leave on a trip? We will study clock to the hour, half hour, 5 minute intervals. This is enough math time for now! Moving Up Resources, Games,and Places to Go The following games and activities were found at the Teacher/Parent Store in Danbury.
