Literacy Targets

By the end of Year 2, students should have progressed enough to accurately and fluently read and spell Stage 2 words and a percentage of Stage 3 words along with having a fairly consistent transfer phonic concepts into extended writing. Repeated targeted practice to facilitate automatic skills is the best way of establishing efficient skills in literacy, handwriting and oral language, which is a priority in Year 2. Aligned with the skill development sequence required for Year 2 students we have compiled an essential literacy bundle below:

• Phonic and Sight Word Sequence
• Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers – Stage 1 & 2
• Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers – Stage 3 & 4
