Initia-Lit in the Grade 2/3 Classroom

Grammar

In our grammar lessons we have been focusing using and identifying pronouns (which replace nouns- it, them, she, his) and adding adjectives (words that describe a noun) to make our writing more interesting for our readers.

Reading and comprehension and fluency:

In our reading and comprehension lessons we have been looking at the purpose and features of persuasive texts. We have been exploring the authors opinion in persuasive texts and identifying the reasons and facts which they use to support it. During these lessons we also work on reading smoothly (like we’re talking), accurately and with expression.

Spelling

In our spelling lessons we have been focusing on tricky words as well as different ways of spelling the /ay/ sound in words (ay, ai and a_e).

On Tuesday we sorted words with the /ay/ sound into the correct columns.
