Purpose This resource is designed to provide educators with an example weekly framework using Seesaw Early Literacy lessons. This example shows how lessons can be strategically implemented throughout a typical week to supplement or enhance any existing literacy curriculum. In second grade, each week offers opportunities to introduce or reinforce students’ knowledge of foundational sound-spelling patterns. Students practice vocabulary building, word analysis, fluency, and reading comprehension in isolation and in context.
