2nd Grade 2nd Grade Spelling Words Worksheet

Common 2nd grade words, spelled right

Second graders read and write certain words constantly — because, friend, school, people, little — but these are also some of the most misspelled, because they don’t follow simple sound-it-out rules. This worksheet zooms in on the tricky letters in each one.

How to use it

Have your child say each word slowly, fill in the missing letters, then write the whole word once to lock it in. Point out the trouble spots (the ea in because, the double t in little). Pairs with 2nd grade sight words for reading and writing the same high-frequency words.
