Books to Read in Second Grade

Parents:
When it's time to read, have your second grader decide if he or she wants to read alone, read together with you or listen as you read. Whatever your child decides, make certain that you and your second grader discuss what was read. This will help your child improve comprehension skills and strategies and become a more proficient reader.
