NEWLY UPDATED IN 2026! Full Year Bundle - Ontario Science Curriculum. This FULL YEAR bundle covers all expectations in the Ontario Science Grade 2 curriculum, including the NEW Strand A: STEM and Coding Skills, at no extra cost!
Students will practice literacy skills when demonstrating their understanding of the subject material. These sheets were made for cross-curricular connections between language and science. Students will make connections, infer, support their answers with evidence from the text, and summarize. Each worksheet contains a reading followed by questions for them to demonstrate their learning. Students will enjoy the matching, true or false, and multiple choice questions.
