What 2nd Graders Need to Know
To be prepared for 3rd grade, second graders need to master these foundational skills:
- Reading & ELA: Reading fluently with expression, comprehending fiction and nonfiction texts, writing multi-sentence paragraphs, expanding vocabulary, and applying phonics and spelling patterns
- Math: Addition and subtraction within 100, understanding place value to the hundreds, skip counting, measuring with standard units, telling time to the nearest five minutes, and working with basic data and graphs
- Science: Properties of matter, life cycles of plants and animals, Earth’s materials and landforms, weather patterns, and basic scientific inquiry and observation skills
- Social Studies: Maps and geography, community and government, cultural traditions, timelines and history, and economic concepts like needs vs. wants
- Social-Emotional: Developing independence, resolving conflicts, building empathy, and strengthening focus and self-management skills
