Workbook Details:
This resource covers all expectations and learning goals in the Grade 2, 2023 Ontario Language Curriculum – Reading Comprehension Strand.

There are 254 activity sheets that align to cover all expectations in the NEW Ontario 2023 Language Curriculum. These activities can be used on their own, or to compliment the Composition Strand. Students will learn each of the expectations as they progress through the different text forms that follow the same pattern as the Composition unit.

We’ve included a variety of activities, including independent reading responses, group activities, assignments, experiments, and hands-on activities to keep your students engaged.

Included in this unit are the overall expectations:

C1. Knowledge about Texts – taught using 10 different text forms, including letters, procedural writing, and reports.

C2. Comprehension Strategies – we’ve included a stand-alone independent reading comprehension package (BINGO and other responses), and these strategies are taught throughout the 254-page unit.

C3. Critical Thinking in Literacy – taught throughout the resource (biases, inferences, literary devices, etc.)

We have also covered Strand A in Language - Literacy Connections and Applications. We have included curriculum connections for all our activities, so you can see exactly what you will be covering by completing each activity. We know this will help when writing report cards!

In addition, we have included a full-year long range plan that outlines what concepts from the curriculum you will be teaching each week/block.
