Grade 2 RL (4): Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem or song.
  • Students will meet this standard through the active participation in the read aloud. As the students catch on the the repeated sentences, the teacher will invite the students to read along. 
Grade 2 RL (7): Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.
  • Students will meet this standard because before we flip pages, students will be given the chance to make an inference as to what is coming next in the text.
