While talking may come instinctively for children, most children do not have a natural desire to write. LPL believe that a beginning writer must master oral language before he is expected to produce original written ideas. Training in the proper use of the English language is essential during the grammar stage. The main goals of second grade English are twofold: to teach students about writing through various exercises based on classical works (writing) and to gently introduce parts of speech through oral lessons (English grammar).

LPL’s Second Grade English Lesson Plans cover English grammar and writing using the thorough and age-appropriate books: The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease, Level 2 and First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 2 by Susan Wise Bauer.

In these wonderful resources, your child will have an enjoyable time memorizing poetry, learning punctuation rules, creating narrations, answering comprehension questions, observing pictures, studying usage, and penning copywork, among other activities.

The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease, Level 2 lays the foundation for writing through copywork, narration, and dictation exercises taken from beloved excerpts of classical literature. These lessons will equip and train young students in writing. This text comes complete with easy-to-follow teacher instructions and a thorough philosophy explanation.

First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 2 gently eases children into grammar through delightful scripted lessons that teach grammar rules, usage, and beginning writing skills using memory work, copywork, narration, and enrichment activities.
