What this worksheet teaches

• Sort words into groups such as animals, food, weather and feelings.

• Choose the right word for a sentence when two options look similar.
• Use singular and plural forms of new words correctly, including the -es endings.

How to use this worksheet

Keep the new words visible for the rest of the week - on a fridge note or a bookmark. Grade 2 vocabulary fades quickly without a second and third encounter after the worksheet.

Sample questions from this worksheet

Frequently asked questions

My child mixes up synonyms and antonyms. Any tip?

Anchor the words themselves: antonym starts with 'anti', which means against, so it is the opposite. Most children stop swapping them once that link sticks.

Are spellings tested too?

Spelling of the new words is practised but the focus is meaning and use. Getting the meaning right with an imperfect spelling is still a good answer at Grade 2.

How many new words should we tackle in one sitting?

Five to eight is plenty at Grade 2. Recall drops sharply beyond that, so a shorter list revisited twice beats a long list done once.
