Scope and sequence
What Grade 2 teaches, week by week
Every week pairs one phonics or word-study skill with one Bible hero, one virtue, and one Scripture, and every week carries the same rhythm: drill sheet, decodable reader, scribe writing, daily exit tickets, and homework. Weeks are numbered as they are printed in the book (2–36), in four quarters.
