We are all working on 15 “no excuse” words this week. These are high frequency words that as second graders
we need to not only learn to read (without sounding out) but spell as well.  There will be an assessment on
Friday.

We are working on literary text and reviewing its parts this week. We have also started our first author study
with Cynthia Rylant. I am excited about the new authors we are going to read this year!

Second grade No Excuse Words
These words are ones that the students will be reading and writing often, so it is very important they
can read them quickly and write them correctly. We are starting the year with them so the students
have a good foundation going into all of our Reading and Writing activities. I am excited to have
the students master these words. 
Use these as flashcards for the activities throughout the week. You may keep them at home. 
