By 2nd grade, readers are ready for longer texts and bigger ideas — and writers are ready to tell real stories. These 2nd grade ELA lessons cover the Common Core strands for the year: vowel teams and reading fluency (RF.2), recounting stories and finding their central message (RL.2), narrative writing with a clear sequence of events (W.2), collective and irregular plural nouns (L.2), and predicting the meaning of compound words (L.2).

Each deck is a complete teaching sequence you present from the front of the room: explicit modeling, shared examples, and short bursts of guided practice. The comprehension lessons build around retelling and discussion, so students do the thinking out loud before they write anything down.

When you want a lesson to match your class exactly, open it in Chalkie: change the example story, adjust the word lists to your spelling patterns, or regenerate a practice slide. Free to view, free to edit with a free account.
