Offering dynamic whole-group explicit instruction, Stepping Together Second Grade engages all students in interactive phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics, reading, and writing activities. The lessons follow a systematic scope and sequence aligned with grade-level expectations. The lessons grow in complexity across the year, building comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary skills. Engaging follow-up activities and hands-on literacy centers extend the learning. Stepping Together will engage every student in your classroom and foster a love of reading and writing.
