Alignment of Second Step Lessons With Academic SOL

• Second Step lessons address key content elements
  and concepts, and core learning strategies
  identified in the SOL at each grade level
• Many grade level content strands are repeatedly
  addressed in the lessons allowing for multiple
  opportunities to apply the concepts and learning
  strategies in a variety of different ways
• In addressing SOL, the lessons allow for
  creativity and perspective-taking, particularly
  in subjects such as math and science
