What children learn in spelling in Grade 2

In Grade 2 (typically ages 7–8; equivalent to Year 2 (Australia), Year 3 (England), Class 2), spelling work usually focuses on long vowel patterns, r-controlled vowels and compound words. The exact order differs from school to school and country to country, so treat this as a guide rather than a checklist.

Below you will find every Grade 2 spelling worksheet on the site, grouped by topic. Each has three printable sheets and a full answer key. For a quick review pick a topic your child already knows; for new learning, start with the first sheet in a topic and move on once the answers come easily.

Questions parents ask

What should a child learn in Spelling Grade 2?

Curricula differ by country, but the topics listed above are typical. Use them as a guide and move up or down as your child needs.

How often should we practise?

Short, regular practice — ten to twenty minutes, three or four times a week — works better than long occasional sessions.

Are answer keys included?

Yes. Every worksheet has an answer key under the sheet; there are three different sheets per topic so you can practise again without repeats.
