Grade 2 skills and strategies.

Understanding Stories

Main idea: What is the story mostly about?
Retelling: Tell the beginning, middle, and end.
Characters: What do they say and do? That shows who they are.

Vocabulary

When you see a new word, look at the words around it for clues.
Pictures can help you figure out what a word means.
Try using the new word in your own sentence!

Text Features

Headings tell you what a section is about.
Bold words are important — pay attention to them.
Pictures and captions give you extra information.

Making Predictions

Use clues from the story to guess what happens next.
Ask: "Based on what I read, what makes sense?"
Check your prediction as you keep reading!

Addition & Subtraction

Add and subtract within 100.
Regroup when ones go over 9 (carry to tens).
Use mental math: break numbers into tens and ones.

Skip Counting

Count by 2s: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
Count by 5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25...
Count by 10s: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50...
Skip counting helps with multiplication later!

Measuring

Use a ruler to measure length in inches or centimeters.
Start at zero, not the edge of the ruler!
Estimate first, then measure to check.

Fractions

A half means 2 equal parts.
A fourth means 4 equal parts.
The parts must be equal — same size!
