LANGUAGE ARTS: 2nd and 3rd Grade Reading and Writing Warm-Ups for Spring Common Core Aligned

by Elizabeth Chapin-Pinotti
Grades: 2nd and 3rd


2nd and 3rd Grade Reading and Writing Warm-Ups for Spring Common Core Aligned


Each of these Daily Warm-Up passages are aligned with the Common Core Standards for second grade and are written at reading levels varying from first through third grades. The topics are non-fiction and many are March and Spring themed. These 

Warm-Ups are intended to foster higher order thinking skills and writing across the curriculum. They are science and social studies themed and ask thought provoking questions to help students become independent thinkers and to develop their brain muscles! 

They are not multiple choice. 

The difference between these Daily Warm-Ups and others is that the Warm-Ups herein help to promote higher order thinking skills. Students read the passages, think about what they read and then write constructed response answers to prompts rather than check a, b, c. or d on multiple choice questions.
