Year 2 Ready: Reading — fluency, inference and talking about books (4 videos, 5 lesson cards, printables)

Year 2 is the year the basics have to become automatic. Nothing in it is dramatic — the same reading, writing and arithmetic as Year 1, but faster and more secure. The children for whom it does not get faster are the ones who start to find school hard in Year 3.

What you get

• 4 videos, about 22 minutes
• 5 printable lesson cards — parent explainer, worked model, practice set, full answers with marking notes, and the common mistakes to watch for
• The Year 2 Ready Reading companion book, every lesson in one document
• The slides from every video, including the overview deck
• A one-page A3 course map
• The full chart library: place value mats and Gattegno charts, hundred square, number lines, tens frames, all twelve times tables and the multiplication square, handwriting sheets in print and cursive, phonics phases 2 to 6, phoneme, digraph and trigraph charts, and the high frequency and common exception word lists

Who it is for

Parents of children in Year 2, or going into Year 2. Tutors and childminders can use it as a ready-made scheme.

Covers reading aloud with expression, fluency, inference, prediction and book talk, with the Year 2 word lists and phonics sheets for any gaps still open.

For use by one family or one classroom. Files may not be shared, resold or uploaded elsewhere.
