Understanding reading comprehension within Grade 2 Social Studies is crucial for both parents and teachers for several reasons. Firstly, this subject fosters foundational knowledge about the world and their place in it. It introduces young students to community roles, basic geography, cultures, and history, helping them develop a sense of identity and belonging.
