Grade 2: Listening & Learning Domain
What are the Listening and Learning Domains?
Beyond the necessary mastery of basic decoding skills, the ability to comprehend what is read is very much dependent upon both language and content knowledge. General language competence along with domain-specific knowledge and vocabulary are essential if students are to understand the words and sentences they are decoding.
The Listening and Learning Strand lessons, comprised of read-alouds and oral language exercises, build on the fact that students’ listening comprehension abilities outpace their reading comprehension abilities throughout elementary school. At each grade level, approximately 150 lessons are divided into 12 domains. Each domain is dedicated to a particular topic or theme and consists of read-alouds that the teacher shares with students in a large group setting over the course of 10-15 days of instruction. In alignment with the Common Core Standards, the topics addressed in these domains go well beyond standard kindergarten language arts fare and include important historical and scientific content.
The Listening and Learning read-alouds allow students to build cumulative knowledge and vocabulary about a specific domain both within and across grade levels. Content Specific Objectives and Language Arts Objectives are identified for every domain and every lesson. While most of the read-alouds have been written and illustrated specifically for the Core Knowledge Language Arts program, topic-specific trade book titles are also an integral part of each domain.
Each domain includes student outcomes that address, in an ongoing fashion, the following NYSP12 ELA standards:
Reading Standards: RL.2.1, RL.2.2, RL.2.3, RL.2.10, RL.2.11
Writing Standards: W.2.1, W.2.2, W.2.5, W.2.6, W.2.8, W.2.11
Speaking and Listening Standards: SL.2.1, SL.2.2, SL.2.3, SL.2.4, SL.2.5, SL.2.6
Language Standards: L.2.1, L.2.4, L.2.6
