Here is a choice board of reading activities for a virtual 2nd grade classroom:

  1. Read Aloud: Choose a book from your home library or an online resource. Read it aloud to a family member or record yourself reading and share it with your classmates.

  2. Book Review: Read a book of your choice and write a book review. Include the title, author, a brief summary, and your opinion. Rate the book out of 5 stars and explain why you gave it that rating.

  3. Vocabulary Detective: Choose 5 new words from your reading material. Write each word, its definition, and use it in a sentence. Share your sentences with your classmates.

  4. Character Analysis: Choose a character from a book you have read. Create a character profile by drawing a picture of the character and writing about their traits, feelings, and actions.

  5. Story Sequencing: Choose a story you have read and create a storyboard with 4-6 boxes. Draw or write about the main events of the story in the correct order.

  6. Reading Response: Choose a reading prompt from the list below and write a response:
    • What was your favorite part of the story? Why?
    • How did the main character change throughout the story?
    • What lesson did you learn from the story? How can you apply it to your life?

  7. Word Hunt: Choose a book or article and find as many words as you can that start with the same letter. Write the words in alphabetical order and challenge your classmates to find more words.

  8. Compare and Contrast: Choose two books you have read. Create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the characters, settings, and events in both stories.

  9. Create a New Ending: Choose a book you have read and write a new ending for the story. Be creative and think about how the characters’ actions could change the outcome.

  10. Reading Bingo: Create a bingo board with different reading activities in each square. Complete the activities and mark them off on your board. Aim to get a line or a full board!

Remember to provide clear instructions and expectations for each activity and allow students to choose the activities that interest them the most.
