Common Core Reading
Standards Grade 2
The following standards
offer a focus for instruction each year and help ensure that students gain
adequate exposure to a range of texts and tasks. Rigor is also infused through
the requirement that students read increasingly complex texts through the
grades. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s
grade-specific standards and retain or further develop skills and
understandings mastered in preceding grades.
