Grade 2 Writing Worksheet

Pizza is the best lunch.
A firefighter is the best job.
A good opinion always comes with reasons. An opinion says what a person thinks, and a reason tells why they think it. Without a reason, a reader has no way to decide if the writer is right. A second grader who writes because after an opinion has already learned the most important habit of opinion writing. This worksheet prints three opinions, one at a time, and the child writes two reasons for each one.
The reasons should be different from each other and should make sense with the opinion. A box at the top lists words that begin a reason, such as Because, One reason is and Also. The child writes whole sentences with a capital letter and a period. Ask your child to read the opinion and then each reason aloud: does the reason tell why?
