Carefully, cheerfully, and quickly might describe how kids complete this second grade reading and writing worksheet. With practice, kids will recognize that those descriptive words are all adverbs. On this worksheet, kids circle the adverbs that modify the underlined verbs.

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.
Compound it!
This worksheet will help your child with compound words, or words that are made of of two separate words (such as breadbox, doorknob, and goldfish).
Irregular Plurals: Plural Practice 2
Some words don't become plural the regular way, by adding "s" or "es." Words such as wolf/wolves 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.
Word Addition: Compound Words 1
On this second grade reading worksheet, kids take two words and put them together to make a whole new word: a compound word! Since panberry and strawcake don't make any sense (pancake and strawberry are much better), kids need to use prior knowledge and picture clues to figure out the words.
