By the end of second grade, students write final copies of corrected papers. Corrected papers are sent home for parents to see. All students are read to each day from different kinds of books. Students discuss what they read with teachers and other students. All students have a chance to read both silently and aloud in school each day and at home every night.
Every classroom has a library of books that children want to read.
This includes easy books and books that are more difficult. The school library is used often and has many books. Students may check books out during the summer and over holidays.
