Many of the children in our program are in grades 2-4. A good use of our time in the afterschool hour is review of sight words. Below is a link to a NCDPI wiki with sight words specifically for grade 2.
I will be trying this with one 2nd grader I'm tutoring this summer. I plan to create some games, mainly concentration games for matching. I may also use flash cards to make-up sentences. For a good day's work, we will look for images on the computer to match with some of the words. My 2nd grader also struggles with parts of speech. After he becomes more familiar with the words in the list, he can begin identifying noun, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Locating images for abstract terms like "run", or "sleep" is always fun and a good strategy for nailing both the meaning and recall of a particular word.
