Grade 2 National Reading Vocabulary - Geneva 304

Grade 2National Reading VocabularyTampaReads.com - ReadingKey.comThe following Grade 2 Vocabulary List contains the 856 new reading wordsthat students need to master by the end of 2nd Grade. Students who achievethis goal consistently score in the top 10% on standardized national readingtests (i.e. Woodcock-Johnson and Stanford Achievement) and will be readingat approximately a 3.0 grade level.A total of 958 words are used in the Grade 2 ListThey are arranged as follows:1st nine weeks – 238 words2nd nine weeks - 216 words3rd nine weeks - 252 words4th nine weeks - 252 wordsTOTAL 958 wordsOf the 958 words used in the Grade 2 list, 102 words in the first nine weeksare review words from the Grade 1 List. This is done because the firstseveral weeks of Grade 2 should be spent reviewing the more difficult Grade1 words and primary vowel sounds (students have a very short memory overthe summer).An excellent “Test” to determine if a student is ready to begin the Grade 2 Listis to ask the student to read the 70 Grade 1 review words listed in Weeks 1and 2. Students who answer 50% correctly (35 words) will be reading atapproximately a 1.5 grade level (1st Grade 5th month). Students who answerthree-quarters of the words correctly will be reading at approximately a 1.8level (1st Grade 8th month). Students who answer all 70 words correctly willbe reading above a 2.0 grade level.Other review words are presented as word #5 for Weeks 2-9. Grade 1 reviewwords are identified by the letter “R” located to its left.

Intelligent Word OrganizationWords are arranged from the "most common" words at the beginning of thelist to the "lesser common" words toward the end of the year. This providesyou the most logical and efficient order for instruction. To further increasememorization efficiency we have organized words into similar vowel soundand reading-rule categories. This strategy alone has been shown todramatically increase the rate in which a student learns new words by givinga common sound or rule to use while decoding the words.Students advancing at the recommended pace of one "Level" per week willtypically score in the top 10% on 2nd grade national standardized tests suchas the Stanford Achievement or Woodcock-Johnson. Upon mastering the850 words, a student will be reading at approximately a 3.0 Grade Level.Difficult Vocabulary WordsThe last word in each daily list is what we call our “Word of the Day.” It islocated in the “grayscale” background to separate it from the main list words.The “Word of the Day” is far more difficult to learn than the other phonicsbased words. This difficulty occurs because it is either visually similar toother words (i.e. went – want) or is not consistent with typical phonics rules(i.e. does – what). The “Word of the Day” should be given extra practice toinsure its complete memorization as it is also a high priority reading word.We have excellent additional activities in our program or achieving this.Because of the fact that Grade 1 words occur with greater mathematicalfrequency when reading Grade 2 reading books or tests, it is very helpful toinsure that your student(s) have mastered all words in the Grade 1Vocabulary List before beginning the Grade 2 Vocabulary.Richard Pressinger (M.Ed.)Reading SpecialistTampaReads.comReadingKey.comPH.
