Ready2Read Level 2 Unit 1

I am SO excited to finally be able to post the first unit for Ready2Read Level 2!  This has truly been a labor of love and I couldn’t be happier with the final product!  It took me longer than I had hoped because I really wanted to create the best products I could for Level 2.  Some of the products are similar to Level 1 and there are a lot of new printables for Level 2.

If you are new to the Ready2Read Program, you can see the information page for Level 1 {HERE}.  Level 1 prepares children for Level 2.

You can also check out the information page for Level 2 {HERE}.

We started off the unit with our Color-by-Number sight words, which will be laminated and put into our pocket chart…

We LOVE singing, so we continue to sing our sight words to the tune of BINGO, which really makes them stick.  I like using the magnets on the back of the words so we can use them with our cookie sheet or anything else that is magnetic.  Audrey really enjoys moving them around and putting them in the right spots.  Hands-on…love it!

The sight word circles are back by popular demand, BUT this time they will be used to make a bundle of balloons for our fair theme.

The bunch of balloons may look small now, but watch it grow each week as we add more and more sight words.  I just used some yarn that I had on hand to make the string, but I also think some curly ribbon would look cute.

Another HUGE hit from Level 1 was decorating our sight words.  You can use just about ANYTHING that will make it FUN!

I usually keep our sight words up for a couple of weeks before they go into the “round file”.  However, if I see some little 2 year old picking off the cake decorations and trying to eat them…they hit the trash a little sooner!! 😉

New: These Sentence Strips will review sight words from Level 1  and the new word family words from Level 2.  They can be used in a couple of different ways:
1. Read the sentences for review and to build confidence.
2. Print a second sheet and cut up the words.  Match the cut up words to the sentence strip.  This is great for one-to-one correspondence.

  1. Hi Jenny,
    Thank you Jenny! I will bundle them by 2's, 5's and all 10 units as soon as I finish the units. I post the units as I finish them so right now only unit 1 is available:) I am hoping to have unit 2 out next Friday! Obviously, the bundles will be cheaper:)

  2. I jumped the gun before I knew that there would be bundles. Oh well, I am really excited to see this and it is awesome. I know my grandson will love the "Fair" theme too. I have blogged about it today. Can't wait to start level 2.

  3. Hi Annie,

    I was just wondering if you will be selling the level 2 of Ready 2 Read as a package and when will you start selling them. I would love to get an email when you start selling them we can't wait to startit…my email address is an*******@*****il.com

    Thank you!

  4. Hi Goong!
    I have one more unit to complete in Level 2 and then it should be bundled for a better savings:) Several people have asked and I am trying to get it done ASAP:)

  5. This looks great! I love how the words are reinforced over and over in different wonderfully fun ways. My daughter has started reading and doing phonics with the curriculum we are using. It's online and I think this would be a great hands-on reinforcement for her. What would be a good way to figure out where to start her at?

  6. Good question. If your daughter is not fluid in CVC words and knows all her Pre-Primer sight words, I would start her in Level 1. Level 1 is designed to prepare a child for Level 2. I think the strong phonics foundation and sight word background allows a child to eventually read above the level. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. You can always email too:)

  7. Hi, I love your program. I am tutoring a young man who is working a couple of levels behind his grade level. Do you think your program can work if it is not done on a daily basis? I am only tutoring him one day per week right now and his mom is helping by adding pieces from your program to his home school curriculum.

  8. Thank you so much! This program has worked tremendously well and I think you asked a great question. I think there are pieces that the mom can use as a way to review what you are teaching him. I would teach the phonics rules, introduce the sight words and let mom take over with the review. The one day a week could serve as an opportunity for specific instruction. I hope that helps and I would love to know how he progresses.

  9. Thanks for the advice Annie. So far, so good. We started with level 2 because his mom wants him to be working a little closer to his grade level. I am excited that many of the primer sight words are included in level 2.

  10. Hi Annie,

    I love the photos you have of the huge section of wall you took over in your house! I just showed Steve and I had to laugh because I took over 12 feet of wall in my house for a word wall. I absolutely love your work and will be updating our word wall with the blends you have posted. Keep up the great work!

  11. I absolutely love your site. My twin girls go to public school but one of them is really struggling with her reading. The other is a whiz though so it makes it hard to work with both. I think they will both gain so much from your games, etc and I won't feel like I am neglecting one!! Thank you for making my evenings easier and more FUN!!!

  12. I just purchased Ready2Read Level 2, The Bundle, and I don't see the mini-readers like it shows on your blog. We loved the mini-readers from Level 1 and want to do more of these. Where are they? Thanks for Ready2Read!!

  13. Hi I just purchased Ready2Read Level 2 and I don't have the mini readers. Do those have to be purchased separately. I love the mini readers!
