2nd Grade English Language Arts Resources
Second grade learners can strengthen reading, writing, and language skills with over 1,800 printable worksheets, Guided Lessons, hands-on activities, and more—all designed to support literacy development through structured, engaging practice. Our materials align with Common Core State Standards to help students build these key reading, writing, and language skills through targeted practice.
Second grade students strengthen their phonics foundation by working with additional vowel teams, such as au/aw and ou/ow, and two-syllable words with long vowel sounds. Learners also explore R-controlled vowels to reinforce common spelling patterns and improve reading fluency. These foundational skills support more confident and independent reading. Reading comprehension worksheets and fluency passages cover engaging topics, like ocean life and apple picking, and tell classic stories such as The Ugly Duckling. Paired comprehension questions help students identify key details, summarize texts, and make inferences to improve critical reading skills. Second grade writing activities guide students through forming complete sentences, using transition words, and organizing ideas into clear informational paragraphs. Grammar worksheets provide focused practice with capitalization, punctuation, and sentence types, including declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory forms. Learners also explore parts of speech such as verbs, adjectives, and adverbs to enhance descriptive writing. Vocabulary resources include activities on homophones, word meaning, and context clues.
