By Year 2, readers are tackling trickier letter patterns and writers are stretching into persuasive texts and compound sentences. These Year 2 English lessons cover reading comprehension, phonics and spelling, writing, and grammar and punctuation, each one a slide deck ready to present in your literacy block.

The set aligns to the Australian Curriculum v9.0 language, literature and literacy strands, and every deck lists its objectives, from vowel digraphs and silent letters to discussing characters and settings and joining ideas in compound sentences. That transparency makes programming and reporting far less fiddly.

Most teachers present a deck as the explicit-teaching burst before reading groups or writing time, editing it in Chalkie first if they want a different mentor text, sound focus or writing prompt. However you run your block, these Year 2 English lessons cut planning down to minutes.
