Grade two听intervention kits
The Early Years Department is excited to share the Grade Two Early Reading Intervention Toolkit with grade two educators in the English programs in every school. Grade 1 Early Reading Intervention Toolkits were distributed to all grade one听classrooms in the 2023-2024 school year.
This toolkit was created intentionally to support students who continue to strive in their reading development in grade two. It contains a number of resources to support educators in creating a rich, comprehensive, culturally relevant and responsive literacy program including an identity-affirming picture book, decodable texts and supporting guides and materials that educators can use to engage in effective, evidence-based literacy instruction.听 听
The Grade Two Early Reading Intervention Toolkit provides an opportunity for educators to consider ways to embed explicit and systematic instruction of foundational reading skills within relevant, meaningful, culturally relevant and responsive contexts that honour and reaffirm positive reader identities.听
