Grade 2 English Lessons

By this point in Grade 2, children are mostly comfortable using the English language and recognize it as one worth learning.

Students who enjoy reading by now are probably choosing to read books that are thicker and longer, and have fewer illustrations. Parents and teachers are encouraged to supply children with a great selection of books at this point. It is best if books given to children relate to their own cultural background.

Although extended and autonomous writing has not begun, students at this stage tend to feel more at ease with independent writing. Even so, students will still receive some support when they are writing.

In the grammar section, students will start receiving instruction on Parts of Speech by first learning about 'Nouns' and 'Pronouns'. Learning grammar at this point becomes particularly important since new grammar structures and rules will be well remembered by children.

It is an apt time in Grade 2 to build up students' speaking and listening skills through further activities. It is important that teachers give students many opportunities both to speak English and to listen to English at school. Parents should make an effort to speak English at home to support their children's learning.
