By the end of Module 2, students should be able apply learned spelling patterns such as “oi,” “oy,” “ou,” and “ow” to decoding and encoding words. Students will also be able to read, spell, and understand contractions using “am,” “is,” “not,” “would,” and “have.” Students will continue to decode and encode words with common prefixes (“re-,” “un-,” “pre-”) and suffixes (“-ed,” “-ing,” “-er”), beginning to tackle words with both. Students will be introduced and should be able to decode words containing word endings such as “-tion” and “-sion.” Lastly, students will continue to work on and reflect on their growing ability to fluently read second-grade texts.
