Words second graders should know on sight
By second grade, students learn a new set of high-frequency words — because, before, always, their, would — that show up constantly in books. Because many don’t follow tidy spelling rules, the goal is instant recognition, which frees up attention for harder words and for understanding the story.
How to use it
Read each sentence aloud, have your child pick the word from the bank that makes sense, then read the whole sentence back smoothly. Words that still need decoding are great flashcard practice. Builds on 1st grade sight words and pairs with 2nd grade spelling.
👩🏫 Teacher note
These are high-frequency words 2nd graders should read instantly. Read each sentence aloud, have students choose the word that makes sense, then reread for fluency.
🏠 Parent note

Common Mistakes to Watch For
