2nd grade teaching tips
Second-grade readers should have a more advanced understanding of phonics if they are to be successful in building stronger reading comprehension skills. In particular, decoding one-syllable and two-syllable words, common prefixes and suffixes, and irregularly spelled words are skills commonly identified as grade-appropriate. The following tips can help advance these and other reading comprehension skills:
Reading aloud is one of the best activities for developing readers. It helps them understand how individual words connect together to form a fluent sentence. Reading aloud also promotes understanding of how to pronounce multisyllabic words.
Use a Story/Word Ball
A story ball is nothing more than an inflatable beach ball with critical questions written on it (i.e., Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?). Alternatively, new words using common prefixes and suffixes could be written on the ball. Children toss the ball to one another, and each child is encouraged to answer the question or demonstrate how to pronounce the word that’s facing them.
Establish Clear Goals
Students will be able to retain more information if they understand what the goals are for the reading ahead of time. For example, if students are asked to read a passage about playing outside in the winter, let them know that they will learn how to build a snowman. Doing so helps direct their attention as they read so they can more effectively decode new and unfamiliar words.

I don't have too many resources for students reading at a second-grade level. Nonetheless, I do have some, and you may appreciate these. The worksheets on this page are written at the 2nd grade reading level. I used this reading level tool to determine the readability scores of my worksheets. Still, you should read and approve each of them yourself for quality and appropriateness before giving them to a child. I encourage you to check out the worksheets written for third and fourth grade students too. Reading scores vary greatly from one measure to the next. The readability scores on this page are a composite of those numbers. You'll get a better variety of appropriately leveled reading worksheets if you consider this idea of "reading bands."
