2nd Grade Report Overview

The Saxon Phonics and Spelling 2 materials do not meet the expectations for alignment to standards and research-based practices for foundational skills instruction. Materials include some explicit instruction with limited teacher modeling and limited teacher-level instruction/modeling for building/manipulating/spelling and encoding of words. Materials include some opportunities for students to decode words in isolation and in-context, and there are opportunities to build/manipulate/spell and encode when students use Letter Tiles and worksheets. Materials include limited explicit instruction of high-frequency words and word analysis skills as the materials require students to view the high–frequency words and memorize the spellings. Materials contain student opportunities to read and write high-frequency words in sentences. Materials contain limited explicit instruction and student practice in word solving strategies to decode unfamiliar words. Materials do not contain explicit fluency instruction and practice, however, optional materials address rate, accuracy, and expression. Materials partially meet expectations for implementation, support materials, and assessment.
