2nd Grade Grade-Level Phonics worksheets

About this worksheet

Grade-level phonics means the sound and spelling patterns that a second grader is expected to read and write. This worksheet is a mixed review, and each version practices a different pattern. Version 1 uses the bossy r words, where the letter r changes the vowel sound, as in barn, fork, bird and turn. Version 2 finds the silent letter in words such as knife, wrap, lamb and light. Version 3 completes long vowel words with the right vowel team, such as ai, ee, oa or igh.

Version 4 listens for the three sounds of the ending -ed, which are t, d and id. Version 5 counts the syllables in a word, and version 6 tells the long oo sound in moon from the short oo sound in book. Each sheet gives ten questions of one kind, and the instruction at the top says what to do. Ask your child to say each word aloud before answering, and to use the single-skill sheet for any pattern that needs more practice.
