2nd Grade CCSS: Writing

For second graders, this Common Core area helps students gain mastery of writing skills by working collaboratively and producing written texts, understanding syntax and vocabulary, and organizing their ideas. Among the complete standards for this grade, second graders will be asked to: write informative texts which use facts and definitions, write narratives that recount a well-elaborated event using details that describe thoughts and feelings, strengthen writing with editing, use digital tools and adult support to publish writing, work with peers on shared research projects, recall information from experiences or gather information from sources to answer questions.
