Animal Books for 2nd Graders
Don't Go Deeper!
Little Fish is tired of the same sandy floor, the same boring rocks, the same shallow sea every single day. What wonders might be hiding in the deeper water below? When he sneaks off while his mother’s back is turned, he finds glittering coral, curious crabs - and something far, far scarier resting on the ocean floor. Can Little Fish find his way back to safety? This decodable reader practices suffixes in words like ‘kindly,’ ‘boldly,’ ‘deeper,’ ‘faster,’ and ‘bravely.’
Don't Stop, Tim!
Tim is the world’s worst bird at not stopping. Show him a butterfly, a shiny bug, or a pretty cloud, and off he drifts into another daydream - while his flock zooms away without him! Now night is falling, Bird Catchers are creeping through the wildflowers, and Tim is all alone. Can one very distractible little bird keep his eyes on the sky until sunrise? This decodable reader practices compound words such as ‘daydream,’ ‘firefly,’ ‘sunshine,’ ‘without,’ and ‘daybreak.’

These amazing animals aren’t fish at all - they’re mammals that breathe air! Did you know they can squirt water to catch their dinner? Or that they live in family groups called pods? How smart do you think these playful dolphins really are? Dive in to discover their incredible secrets!

This decodable reader practices VC/CV syllables in words like ‘breakfast,’ ‘rabbit,’ ‘picnic,’ and ‘culprit.’
