Year 2 Recommended Reading Books

With picture books, poetry, first readers, and chapter books, there’s a wide variety of titles to appeal to children in KS1 Year 2 classes. With a range of material to appeal to all ability ranges including the less able, the more able, reluctant readers, and struggling readers.

Autumn Term

Reading Books

Your child will be provided with a reading book to match their reading age – which means they should be able to fluently read 90% of the words without any issues. 

The best way to do reading at home is for the grown up to read a few pages (to model good reading out loud) and then the child can continue or re-read what the adults have read. 

Please try to talk about the books as you read and their reading log will need signing so they can swap their reading book for a new one. 

The children will receive dojos every time they return their book. Books will be sent home every Friday and should be returned to school by Wednesday.

Homework

Homework will sent home every Friday.

The homework will be their reading book and spellings. 

As the children settle more into Year 2, an additional Maths worksheet will be added.

Things to Remember

Snacks for Break

As a school we want to promote a healthy lifestyle. In KS1, we ask that children bring in a piece of fruit to have as a snack at break time. 

Water Bottles

Please send your child with a labelled water bottle each day. This must be filled with water only. They can refill them during the day.

Jewellery

At Ss. Aidan and Oswald’s we have a no jewellery policy. This includes small earrings.
