Wondering what a complete Grade Two homeschool curriculum should include?
By Grade Two, children are really starting to hit their stride! Reading feels more natural, writing becomes more confident, and math skills continue to grow. They’re making connections, asking great questions, and becoming more independent every day. It’s such a fun year! But finding homeschool resources that work well together can still feel overwhelming.
That’s where the Grade Two Complete Curriculum comes in!
Instead of piecing together separate programs, this complete bundle gives you an entire year of learning in one package. It includes a 36-week Grade Two Math Curriculum, a 36-week Grade Two Language Arts Curriculum, and 10 hands-on Family Unit Studies—all created to complement one another and make homeschooling simple.
As always, my philosophy is simple: quality over quantity. I believe children learn best when lessons are short, focused, and manageable. That’s why both the math and language arts curricula follow our one-page-a-day approach, leaving plenty of time for the hands-on projects, experiments, books, crafts, and discussions that bring learning to life.
Today, I’ll take you inside the complete Grade Two curriculum and show you exactly what your child will learn throughout the year.

Let’s take a closer look at each part of the curriculum.
Grade Two Math Curriculum
In Grade Two, math is about building on the skills children learned in Grade One. As they explore new concepts, they continue to strengthen their number sense, solve everyday problems, and discover that math is all around them.
What makes the How Wee Learn Grade Two Math Curriculum different?
Our Grade Two Math Curriculum helps children develop a deep understanding of math, not simply memorize procedures. Using our one-page-a-day, quality-over-quantity approach, each lesson is short, focused, and easy to fit into your homeschool day.
Parents especially love our cyclical approach to learning. Instead of teaching a concept once and moving on, important skills are revisited throughout the year. This gives children multiple opportunities to practice, strengthen, and truly understand math concepts.
Another feature that makes Grade Two Math so unique is our storybook approach. Throughout the curriculum, children follow an ongoing story, with math lessons and problem-solving woven naturally into the adventures of the characters.
Best of all, this curriculum meets or exceeds all core standards for both Canadian and U.S. Grade Two homeschool families, giving you peace of mind that your child is building the skills they need.
What skills are covered in the Grade Two Math Curriculum?
Throughout the 36-week curriculum, children explore all five essential strands of mathematics:
- ✅ Number Sense: Place value, addition, subtraction, early multiplication and division, fractions, and building strong number sense.
- ✅ Algebra: Recognizing patterns, solving simple equations, exploring coding, and developing algebraic thinking.
- ✅ Data: Collecting, organizing, graphing, interpreting, and analyzing information.
- ✅ Spatial Sense: Geometry, measurement, maps, time, shapes, and spatial reasoning.
- ✅ Financial Literacy: Identifying coins and bills, counting money, representing amounts, and using money in everyday situations
The curriculum also includes printable math tools, extra practice activities, an answer key, and a course completion certificate to support your child throughout the year.
Grade Two Language Arts Curriculum
By Grade Two, children are becoming more fluent readers and writers, ready to think more deeply about the texts they read and express their ideas in new ways.
What makes the How Wee Learn Grade Two Language Arts Curriculum different?
Our Grade Two Language Arts Curriculum helps children continue building strong reading and writing skills through short daily lessons. Rather than overwhelming children with lengthy assignments, we focus on one page each day, giving them the time to grow as readers, writers, and communicators.
Like all of our curricula, Grade Two Language Arts follows our quality-over-quantity philosophy. Skills are introduced gradually and revisited throughout the year, giving children repeated opportunities to practice and strengthen their understanding without feeling rushed.
One feature families especially appreciate is the simple weekly rhythm. Each week follows a predictable schedule:
- Day 1: Phonics Focus
- Day 2: Reading and Comprehension
- Day 3: Review and Connect
- Day 4: Literacy Learning Activities
- Day 5: Journal Writing
This balanced approach keeps learning fresh while reinforcing important skills throughout the week.
What skills are covered in the Grade Two Language Arts Curriculum?
Throughout the 36-week curriculum, children continue developing the literacy skills they’ll use for years to come, including:
- ✅ Reading: Phonics, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension strategies, and critical thinking.
- ✅ Writing: Spelling, grammar, sentence structure, descriptive, procedural, and personal writing, while learning to organize, revise, and edit their work.
- ✅ Media Literacy: Exploring how advertisements, packaging, images, and media messages are created to inform, persuade, and influence different audiences.
- ✅ And More! Poetry, word study, graphic organizers, journal writing, word games, and creative literacy activities make learning interactive and enjoyable.
Curriculum expectations are also included, showing how the program meets or exceeds all core standards for Grade Two, along with a course completion certificate, making it easy for caregivers to teach from the very first lesson.
10 Hands-On Family Unit Studies
The Grade Two Complete Curriculum doesn’t stop with math and literacy! It also includes 10 hands-on Family Unit Studies that bring learning to life through exciting themes and hands-on activities.

But first… what exactly is a Family Unit Study?
Each Unit Study explores one big theme through 10 bite-sized learning topics. Every topic can be completed in about 1-2 hours, giving your family the flexibility to learn at a pace that works for you. Whether you enjoy completing one topic each day or spreading them throughout the week, the choice is yours.
Inside each topic, you’ll find:
- An interesting fact
- A thought-provoking discussion question
- Informative, kid-friendly reading
- A carefully selected YouTube video
- A recommended children’s book
- A math or literacy enrichment activity with three difficulty levels
- An unforgettable hands-on activity that brings the topic to life!
Across the 10 topics, children naturally explore all subjects, including: Science, Social Studies, History, Geography, Art, Music, Health, Literacy, and Math.
When everything connects across subjects, learning simply makes more sense. Children make connections, remember more, and stay engaged because they’re immersed in one exciting topic from start to finish. It’s the kind of learning that sticks long after the lesson is over.
