A huge part of our second grade reading curriculum is to instill lifelong comprehension skills to ensure learning and understanding. These engaging mentor texts will help students to be able to deepen their understanding, focus on the structure of the story, and to use the different reading strategies and skills. We believe in making learning fun and engaging and these texts definitely will help with this! These books are the main focus each week. These focus books will be read, reread, and revisited throughout the week. This is where our vocabulary and deep comprehension practice happens! The mentor books that we have chosen are a variety of levels, because we feel that is important to expose our students to many text levels. They are very capable of making deep connections with our guidance! With these texts, we are looking to build our students’ vocabulary, enhance their understanding, and give them the tools they will need to understand those higher level books. These read aloud mentor texts also initiate discussions for deeper understanding, and allow for teacher modeling of how to stop and check for comprehension.
