How to Use the Memoria Press Classical Homeschool Curriculum: Second Grade Literature

In this episode, Michelle Tefertiller walks you through teaching Second Grade Literature with Memoria Press.
Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. Our reading program for grades 2-7 continues the development of reading skills through universally recognized classic literature. Reading is not a passive activity for pleasure. Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Students who have been challenged by good literature will never be satisfied with the poor-quality books that are so readily available today.
Literature study guides train students to become active readers. Our guides focus on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Each lesson includes a word study to help students build vocabulary. The comprehension questions challenge students to consider what they have read, identify the important content of each story, and compose clear, concise answers (a difficult skill at any age). Writing is thinking, and good questioning stimulates the child to think and write.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I have two students in 2nd grade.. Could you please clarify if both students are expected to read aloud simultaneously? Thank you in advance.
