2 nd Grade<br />
Advanced Beginning Stage of Reading:<br />
Advanced beginning readers are becoming more adept with the use of a number of strategies in reading<br />
unfamiliar material: phonics, visual cues, context clues, and sentence structure. Their store of sight words<br />
numbers in the hundreds, and the books they are able to read independently or with guidance are<br />
becoming more sophisticated.<br />
Books appropriate for readers at this stage are longer and have more fully developed stories, contain<br />
vocabulary in the speaking and listening range of upper primary and elementary children, may include full<br />
pages without illustrations, and when illustrations are included, they embellish but do not provide textual<br />
message cues.<br />
Stages of Writing:<br />
Refer to ASPIRE (appendix B).<br />
