New Things Grade 2 Australian Students Will Learn in English
In Year 2, students learn how to communicate with peers, teachers, students from other classes, family, friends, and community members. They come across different forms of texts - from traditional oral narratives to picture books to rhymes to dramatic performances - that they use as models for their work.
They encounter new vocabulary, varied sentence structures, a range of punctuation conventions, high-frequency sight words, and how illustrations and diagrams can be used to support text.
Students also learn to create reports, performances, imaginative retellings of stories, and expositions in this grade.
Overcome Your Learning Challenges with Year 2 English Tutors
In Year 2, many students struggle with learning to read and decode the text. Some students struggle to explain words and ideas or form complex sentences. They may find it difficult to get ideas across to other people and inform, persuade or engage them. Some students mix up words with multiple syllables or struggle with tricky consonant sounds.
CrunchGrade English tutors for primary school students can identify their problems and offer them tools and strategies to bridge the gaps. They provide timely reading interventions to children and answer all their questions in simple words.

Challenges in Tutoring English to Year 2 Students
Grade 2 students are around 7 years old. Different students learn at different paces and using different approaches. In a traditional classroom, it is difficult for teachers to pay individual attention to each student. In online tutoring, we have the flexibility of paying full attention to an individual student and designing a mix of activities that can keep him or her motivated.
Young children find it difficult to pay attention to a teacher-centric class for an extended period. So our online tutors include several quick activities that can help students learn better and keep them engaged during class. We also identify their interests (such as a cartoon character, football, or painting) and use them to motivate them to pick up linguistic skills.
Many of our tutors who interact with young students use costumes, toys, dolls, cars, and blocks to keep children engaged during the class.
CrunchGrade Grade 2 English Online Tutoring Advantage
CrunchGrade offers flexible classes and ongoing review and analysis of child's achievement and progress in their subject areas. We encourage children to make observations, collect anecdotal evidence and make checklists as they go through the curriculum.
By the end of our Year 2 English tutoring classes, your child will love to come up with imaginative stories, speak persuasively, collect and explain key facts on a chosen topic, and understand and explain key features of multimodal texts.
