Wise Owl's Moving On

"Wise Owl's Moving On," is an advanced second/easy third grade reading workbook and follows "Wise Owl's Moving Up," the easier of the two second grade reading workbooks. It introduces 75 new sight words. I used a Common Core graded word lists, for 2nd/3rd grade and some words cane from the Dolch graded word lists. The workbook reviews old vowel sounds learned in the workbook before and teaches a couple of new ones. One new vowel sound taught is: 'y' says short 'i', as in 'gym'. Another new vowel sound is the schwa sound. There are word skills introduced such as forming contractions, homonyms, synonyms and antonyms. Dictionary skills, like breaking a word into syllables and dictionary pronunciation symbol are introduced. There are two stories per lesson, to practice the sight words learned. The first story is read with the teacher's guidance. There is a comprehension test after that story. The second story is read independently. That story is followed by an activity page, or pages, that includes a writing prompt. Children do the activity sheets independently.
