Second Grade Spelling Words
Our
list of second grade spelling words is a great resource for parents,
teachers and students. Use these words for oral and
written
practice, for spelling games
and worksheets.
Remember to
teach 2nd graders only a few words at a
time. About 8-10 words per week is good for most 2nd
graders. When possible, group words in families, such as light, night, and
right.
Encourage
your child to use his spelling words often, in
wonderful stories from his own imagination!
