Unpacked Standard: 2.2.1 An understanding of language is essential for effective communication. “The inclusion of Language standards in their own strand should not be taken as in indication that skills related to conventions, knowledge of language, and vocabulary are unimportant to reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing; indeed, they are inseparable from such contexts.”Second grade students must have a command of the grammar and usage of spoken and written standard English. Standards that are related to conventions are appropriate to formal spoken English as they are to formal written English.
In this grade, emphasis expands to include irregular nouns and verbs, reflexive pronouns, adverbs, and more complex sentences.
With conventions, students are becoming more adept at ending punctuation, expanding their understanding and usage of capitalization, and are beginning to use reference materials.
2.2.1f *Simple Sentence: a sentence having only one clause (a main/independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, containing a subject and a predicate with a finite verb, as I was there in the sentence I was there when he arrived), as I saw her the day before yesterday.* Compound Sentence: a sentence containing two or more coordinate independent clauses, usually joined by one or more conjunctions, as The lightning flashed (independent clause) and (conjunction) the rain fell (independent clause).
