What Oxford Progressive English Grade 2 Teaches

In the Oxford Progressive English course, grade 2 is where reading takes off. Oxford Progressive English Grade 2 gives children longer texts than grade 1, while keeping the language simple and the pictures supportive.

Stories, Rhymes and Reading

Each unit begins with a short story, rhyme or conversation, followed by questions children can answer from the text. Reading aloud together builds fluency, and Oxford Progressive English Grade 2 keeps every text short enough for young attention spans.

Words, Sounds and Sentences

New words arrive in topics children know, like family, school, animals and food. Simple sentence patterns, naming words, action words and describing words are practised in Oxford Progressive English Grade 2 through games, matching and short written exercises.
