Summer Packet - First to Second

Research has shown that the single greatest factor in predicting reading success is whether a child is read to when young. Here are some titles to get you started! Please note that the reading level of the books suggested varies. If your child is already reading, have him or her read a page of the book aloud to you to see if it is a good fit. If they struggle with more than a few words on the page, it is probably too difficult, but the book would still be a great book to read aloud to your child.

Parents, Below is a list of sight words that the Kindergarten-2nd Grade teachers will be working on throughout the 2016/2017 school year. It would benefit your son/daughter to practice this list over the summer, in order to have a jump start on second grade. It is not a requirement that your child knows all of these words prior to entering second grade.

Note: Fry’s First 100 Words = Kindergarten sight words. Fry’s Second – Fifth 100 Words = First Grade sight words. Fry’s Sixth – Ninth 100 Words = Second Grade sight words.

Argumentative Writing Prompts

Reread/review one of your books and respond to the following prompts:

Write a response that tells your opinion of an event that happened in the story. Write reasons

that support your opinion. Use evidence from the text.

Did you like the main character of the story? Write a response that tells your opinion. Include

reasons that support your opinion.

Think about the topics or characters in you book. In your opinion, which topic or character was

most interesting to you? Write reasons that support your opinion. Include a closing sentence

that restates your opinion.

Which text feature was most helpful to you? Choose one and write your opinion. Write details to

support you opinion. (This prompt may work best with non-fiction text.)

Most stories/books include character or setting changes. Think about a change that occurred in

each book. Describe each change and tell which change you find most interesting. Write a

response that tells your opinion. Include details in the text and illustration that support your

opinion.

Write a story review on the book of your choice. Be sure to state you opinion of the text with

reasons backed by facts to details from the text. Use persuasive words such as best, important,

and should to try and convince readers to agree with the opinion. Provide a concluding statement

that summarizes your main point.

Reread/review TWO of your books and respond to the following prompts:

Which two books did you read? Which book did you like better? Write a paragraph that tells

your opinion. Look for details in the text and illustrations that support your opinion. Write these

details.

What problems were present in the stories? What story had the biggest problem? Write a

response that tells why you chose that problem.

Think about the books that you read and the characters/topics presented. Which character or

topic was your favorite? Write a response that tells why you chose that character or topic.

Write reasons that support your opinion. Use evidence from the text.

The main characters in both stories have positive traits. Write a review that tells which

character you admire more and why. State your opinion and then support it with evidence from

both texts.

Most stories contain a problem and a solution. Of the two solutions, which do you think is better?

Write an opinion response that answers this question. State your opinion and then support it with

evidence from both texts.

Using books that tell about places that people might enjoy visiting, write a travel brochure that

tries to persuade people to visit these places. Use evidence from both texts to support your

opinion or claim. (Books can be fiction or nonfiction – be creative!)

Look at each text and determine the lesson or moral of each story. Write an opinion essay that

tells which lesson you think is more valuable and why. State your opinions and then support it

with evidence from both selections.

Look back at the main characters of each story. Think about the personality descriptions that

are given or implied in the texts. Then make a case as to whether or not the two characters from

separate stories might have been friends had they met.

Narrative Writing Prompts

Reread one of your books and respond to the following prompts:

Write about one of the main events in the text. Then, tell if you feel this event could really

happen.

Draw a picture of the beginning of the story, the middle of the story, and the end of the story,

and then write a response that tells about each picture.

Write a new story that includes the characters from your book. Be sure to include a beginning,

middle, and end.

Summarize the story, keeping the events in the same order as they were in the text.

What did you find out about the main character’s feelings? Write about how the main character

feels. Use evidence from the story.

Write an alternate ending to the story.

Pick a character from the story. What type of person is he/she? Write an analysis of the

character, including his/her actions. Be sure to use evidence from the story.

Use what you read and inferred from the text about the characters and events in the story to

rewrite the story. In the new version of the same story, make one of the supporting characters

the main character and retell the story from his/her perspective. Make sure the events in your

story follow the events in the text.

Write a tall tale using one of the places described in the text as your setting. Use evidence from

the text and the illustrations to support the description of the setting in your story.

Reread TWO of your books and respond to the following prompts:

How are the two settings alike? Choose a story and write about it to describe the setting. Use

the text to help you with the details.

Compare when and where these two stories take place. Write about the setting of one of the

stories.

Tell about the characters in each story. Are the characters real or make-believe?

Imagine that a character from one story meets a character from another story. Use evidence

from both texts, as well as inferences you have made about both characters, to write a story

about their meeting.

After reading your book, take a moment to research the author online. Using information you

learned about the main character when reading the book and information you learned about the

author through your research, write a dialogue between the main character and the author of the

story. Remember to carefully look over each source as you write your narrative.

Informative/Explanatory Prompts Reread one of your books and respond to the following prompts:

What is something new that you learned? Write about this topic using evidence from the text.

Depending on the topic of your book, write directions to follow. Write your directions in a

numbered list. (For example: If you story is about a child who went to the library to check out a

book, you could use the events of the story to help you create directions for checking out books

in the library.)

Write out the facts you learned from reading. You can use more than one text if they cover the

same topic.

Write a report to give information about an interesting topic in your reading. Use details from

the text to support your ideas.

Write an informational paragraph about a topic covered in the text. Use evidence from the

selection to support your writing.

If your book is a biography, you have learned about the life of another person. Based on what you

learned, write a summary of his/her life. Provide evidence from the text to support your points.

Imagine that the events of this story actually took place in your area. Write a newspaper article

reporting the events of the story by using information from the text. Include facts, concrete

details, and quotations to support your key ideas.

Reread TWO of your books and respond to the following prompts:

Look back at the families in the two stories. Think about each family and determine how they are

alike and different. Write an essay to compare and contrast the families. Use clue words such as

alike and but to explain the similarities and the differences. Be sure to use evidence from each

text to support your points.

Based on these two stories, compare and contrast two supporting characters. Provide evidence

from the text to support your points. Use precise words to point out how the supporting

characters are alike and different.

Write an interview with one or more characters from a related piece of text. Ask them questions

and then answer the questions for them. Use facts and details from both texts to develop your

questions and answers.

Compare and contrast the two texts and their structure. Consider their organization and

graphics as well as their words. Write an explanation of how the texts are alike and how they are

different. Provide evidence from the text to support your ideas.

Below you will find a list of resources available at home.

Learn to Type

Online typing tutorials can be accessed from home or school to help students

increase their keyboarding proficiency. Typing instruction should begin with

proper form and home row practice, and will increase in complexity over time.

Typing drills and games should be used to increase speed and proficiency once

the basics have been mastered. Keyboarding fluency is an essential

component in the success of Chrome book implementation in Lee County

classrooms. The following links are appropriate for elementary, middle, and

high school students.

STEP 1: LEARN FORM & PRACTI CE STEP 2: DRILL & PLAY
