02nd Grade Spelling

NEWLY REVISED! This grade level expands upon the basic spelling skills from grade one to include alternate spellings for basic sounds, simple suffixes, and the addition of words with two or more syllables. Class activities reinforce these concepts with a variety of activities.

In Building Spelling Skills Daily Practice, Grade 2, students will learn 10 spelling words per week (300 total). Two sentences for dictation are provided for each list. Spelling lists include the following: short and long vowel words, contractions, blends and digraphs, spellings for /er/, variant vowel sounds such as ow, ou, oo, and adding ed and ing. Practice pages include the following: a spelling list with spaces to read, write, and spell each word, a configuration puzzle for every spelling list, word sorting, word meaning (filling in missing spelling words in sentences), exercises to find the misspellings and hidden words, and various word study exercises. Reproducible forms include: spelling record form, individual spelling record, spelling test form, spelling list form, word sort form, and a parent letter.
