Second graders begin to read more with accuracy and fluency. Having a firmer grasp on phonics, second graders begin more complex word study. They begin to read longer, more complex text, including chapter books. Second graders become more independent learners as they read and respond to a variety of genres through writing.

9. Math
The Second grade Mathematics Curriculum provides instruction to build mathematical concepts, procedures, and skills. It provides a balance of computational fluency, procedural fluency, and problem solving. These types of activities help build mathematical literacy for students to be successful with meeting and exceeding the Georgia Standards of Excellence.

10. Math Second Grade Math curriculum focuses on four critical areas:
