Antonym Crossword
Here's a fun crossword puzzle, with a twist. Each clue on this second grade reading worksheet is a sentence with a highlighted word. Kids find the antonym of the highlighted word, then write the antonym in the puzzle. Understanding antonyms is part of vocabulary development.
Finish the Sentence: Long "u" Vowel Sound
The sentences on this second grade reading and writing worksheet are each missing a word, and each missing word has the long "u" sound spelled one of six ways. Kids choose words from the box to complete each sentence. This worksheet helps kids recognize long-vowel patterns and spell them correctly.
I Long for Long "I"s
This worksheet will help your child practice phonics with the long "i" sound. To complete this exercise your child will first need to read through the sentences, and then decide what letters are needed
Antonyms: Opposites Attract
Which word is an antonym for "large": giant, small, or big? It's "small," of course, but your child can have big fun finding the opposites. Each sentence has an underlined word, and kids select the opposite of that word from among three word choices on this second grade reading worksheet.
Finish the Sentence: Long "i" Vowel Sound
The sentences on this second grade reading and writing worksheet are each missing a word, and each missing word has the long "i" sound spelled one of six ways. Kids choose words from the box to complete each sentence. This worksheet helps kids recognize long-vowel patterns and spell them correctly.
Irregular Plurals: Plural Practice 1
Some words don't become plural the regular way, by adding "s" or "es." Words such as mouse/mice are irregular plurals. On this second grade reading worksheet, kids practice identifying and correctly using irregular plurals by connecting pictures to the correct singular or plural form of a noun.
Contraction Action
Some kids love tinkering with toys and taking them apart to see how they work. Even kids who don't normally like to take things apart will enjoy taking these words apart. On this second grade reading and writing worksheet, kids take apart contractions to show which two words make up each one.
State Search III
This worksheet makes traveling fun. There are ten states hidden in this word search. Can your child find Kentucky or Maine?
Hard and Soft C
On this second grade reading worksheet, kids sort initial consonant sounds into two groups: hard "c," represented by a cookie, and soft "c," represented by celery. This worksheet helps kids build decoding and word recognition skills that will help them become fluent readers.
Word Addition: Compound Words 3
On this second grade reading worksheet, kids take two words and put them together to make a whole new word: a compound word! Since birdcup and teacage don't make much sense (but birdcage and teacup do), kids need to use prior knowledge and picture clues to figure out the words.
