This is a set of shared reading lesson plans and reading strategy visuals for second grade students. The 35 lessons in this unit teach decoding, comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary strategies to help students successfully read nonfiction.

This unit is for you if you want to:

  • Engage your students in meaningful, fun whole group lessons
  • Grow your second graders’ reading confidence, and
  • Accelerate your students’ reading progress!

The lessons in this unit are designed to be very flexible - you can use the suggested texts or choose your own. The lessons can also be rearranged to meet your school's curriculum or scope and sequence!

In addition to detailed lesson plans, strategy visuals, and graphic organizers, you’ll also get:

  • Suggestions for vocabulary words (from the recommended texts)
  • Class skill checklists
  • An individual rubric
  • A conferring form
  • A list of Common Core Standards addressed (this unit aligns with many other standards systems, too)

This is the fifth unit in a series of 6. I recommend teaching this unit toward the middle of the school year. You can definitely use this unit on its own, but keep in mind that the units before / after this unit may further review or build on skills addressed here.

FAQs:

What is shared reading?
Shared reading is an instructional practice in which you, the teacher, lead students in a reading activity where the students can clearly see the words of the text. You do some modeling during shared reading, but you also encourage students to participate in the reading as much as possible. Each shared reading lesson focuses on a strategy that students can then practice on their own, as they read (or pretend-read) independently.

What is the reading workshop model? If I don't use a reading workshop model, can I still use this unit?
The reading workshop model is an approach to teaching that typically includes a minilesson and independent student practice (reading / other literacy activities). As long as you want to teach some type of shared reading or minilesson to your second grade students, then this unit can work for you!

Where can I see a list of the lessons?
A list is included in the free preview! This list will allow you to see the skills and strategies covered in this unit. There are 35 lessons included.

How long will each lesson take to teach?
The lessons are flexible, but I recommend setting aside 10-15 minutes for each shared reading lesson.

What books will I need to teach these lessons? What if I don't have access to those books?
Check out the preview for a complete list of suggested nonfiction texts! For each week, I suggest different options for books that you can use. I also describe what type of text you might choose if you want to use a different text altogether. These lessons are VERY flexible in terms of the books you use!

You'll want students to be able to clearly see the words of the texts, so make sure that you have a document camera or some other means of projecting the texts for students to see. You definitely won’t need to have a copy of each book for every student!

What are the levels of the books?
In this unit, I mostly use books at Levels M and N (F&P Guided Reading Levels). Your students do not need to be able to read these books on their own, as you will provide support. Also, you can easily adjust the text levels by substituting your own books.

Can I skip lessons or use the lessons out of order?
Absolutely! These lessons are designed to be very flexible. I explain more about skipping lessons and using lessons out of order in the video instructions included in the unit. If you don't have time to do shared reading every day, it's not a problem (although I do recommend daily shared reading if you can manage it!).

How long will this unit take to teach?
I recommend spending 7 weeks on this unit.

Are the materials editable?
Editable versions of the lesson plans are included, yes! Other printables with clipart, however, are not editable due to the copyright agreements on the graphics I use.

Which Common Core Standards are addressed in this resource?
RI.2.1, RI.2.2, RI.2.3, RI.2.4, RI.2.5, RI.2.6, RI.2.7, RI.2.8, RI.2.9, RF.2.3, RF.2.3c, RF.2.4, RF.2.4b, L.2.4, L.2.4a, L.2.4b, L.2.4c, L.2.4d, L.2.4e
You can use the above list list (with the CCSS) to correlate to any local standards you may use. Keep in mind that just because a standard is addressed does not mean that this unit teaches it to complete mastery (most standards are addressed again in later units).

This unit is part of the complete shared reading bundle for second grade, which you can find HERE!

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!
