These second grade literacy centers make it SO easy to get centers or independent work time up and running at the beginning of the school year! The activities are simple and straightforward, so kids easily learn what to do. And they’re no prep centers, saving you tons of time! These back to school second grade literacy centers will help your students review and master key skill areas like decoding, spelling, fluency, comprehension, writing, and more! 

With these 112 activity pages, launching centers or independent work in second grade will be so much less stressful. The activities follow templates, which means that you can teach an activity once, and students can complete several different versions of it! And that means kids spend less time off-task and more time engaged in learning.

Plus, all you have to do is click and print - saving you hours and hours during the busy back to school season!

These materials will help your students:

  • Master and review essential, Science of Reading literacy skills

  • Improve their independent work skills

  • Stay engaged and on-task, so you can focus on small groups!

As a first year Kindergarten teacher, I was in a panic trying to figure out how to teach the foundations of reading. This club saved my sanity. Not only did I get structured plans but the advice and knowledge of how to apply it all and create my own lessons in the future. This club let me learn with others and improve myself as a teacher. Truly a blessing.

These games are great! I love that there is an assessment with it so I can really see what skills my students need more practice with. Once they learn the games they are able to do them independently as well.

The 1st & 2nd Grade Literacy Club is the perfect supplement for any teacher to up their literacy instruction. My students love the leveled monthly passages, and I love catching up on the recorded ones available through the website. I have used the Intervention Central resources to differentiate for individual students and small groups. I really can't say enough about the amazing resources and like-minded community!

FAQ

My file isn’t printing correctly. How do I fix this?

The vast majority of printing problems can be fixed with the “Print as Image” solution in Adobe Reader! Learn more about how to do that here HERE.

Where can I learn more about your literacy products and how to use them?

We have a free catalog that walks you through my main resources. It can help you decide which resources are right for you and your students! You can grab the catalog HERE.

I teach in a split-grade class (i.e. 1st and 2nd). How should I select products for my students?

Alison always recommends getting the lower of the two grade levels. So if you teach in a 1st and 2nd grade class, get a 1st grade version. You can always differentiate in small groups or 1:1 to challenge your more advanced students!

I teach in Canada and am looking to buy some of your literacy products. How does the Canadian curriculum align to the U.S. curriculum?

Our Canadian customers tell us that it’s best to purchase one grade level down. If you teach first grade, for example, try a Kindergarten product. You can also check the preview file of any resource in our TpT store to see example lessons to help you make your decision!
