Sweden Mother Tongue Curriculum - Year 2 (År 2)

The Swedish education system emphasizes mother tongue development as crucial for overall language, identity, personal, and cognitive growth. While the national curriculum sets overall goals and central content, the specifics of the Mother Tongue (Modersmål) syllabus for Year 2 (Årskurs 2) are determined at the local school or municipality level. Therefore, there isn't a single, nationally standardized syllabus document available.

The national curriculum for Mother Tongue aims to develop students' knowledge in and about their mother tongue. This includes developing reading and writing skills, expanding vocabulary, understanding different text types, and exploring the cultural context of their language. Students are exposed to various forms of literature, including fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. For students whose mother tongue is not Swedish, the curriculum supports the development of both Swedish and their mother tongue.
