Second Grade Skills Unit 6: The War of 1812

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

New Review

An English language arts unit closely examines spelling, grammar, reading, and writing skills. Scholars practice spelling patterns and tricky words. A read-aloud details the War of 1812 and introduces adverbs, and a close reading looks at sentences. Pupils organize paragraphs and write a research report.
