Second grade writers become more independent and will use strategies for planning, writing, revising, editing, making reading/writing connections, and increasing stamina. Writers take charge of their stories by staying on topic and writing with detail. Second-grade writers create personal narratives, realistic fiction stories, nonfiction "all about" books, poetry, letters, and persuasive pieces.
