$10 - $20 2nd Grade Spelling Activities

No Prep! Students search for fun-themed words in this 15x15 word search puzzle! Word search activities offer many benefits for students. They can help students learn new vocabulary, improve spelling, and develop problem-solving and decoding skills!

Fifteen words can be found up, down, across, and diagonally. Word search activities make engaging brain breaks and bell-ringers. Answer keys included!

Word Search Themes

Arbor Day | Backyard Fun | Baking | Beach Day | Birthday Cake | Butterflies | Caterpillars | Flowers | Frogs | Graduation | Plants | Rainbows | Mother's Day | Father's Day | Rain | Vacation | Ice Cream | Snowcones | Camping | Crafting | Independence Day | Summer Fun

This adapted resource has every word list (word sort) from 2nd Grade's MyView Literacy or Savvas Realize reading program.

Did you know it has been proven that when students use word sorts, they understand their words longer and deeper? There is a Google Document with links to Google Slides for every list. Students will move the words into the correct phonics skill category. You will add an assignment to your Google Classroom and click the option to have every student make a copy. Students will go back to the page to turn it in.

This is also an excellent resource to project the words on the Smartboard or screen for students to see while the teacher is explaining the directions or teaching the phonics skill.

Here is what I do for spelling class each week. 

Remote:

Monday: Students will turn in their word sort assignment.

Tuesday: Students will use the word sort again to try to move the words faster.

Wednesday: Students will write down words on a piece of paper at home or draw a picture and write the words inside.

Thursday: Students will choose an activity to do from a choice board to work on their spelling words.

Friday: Students will sign onto a Google Meet to take their quiz.

Word search puzzles are incredibly helpful for learning new words. They're like fun games where you find words hidden in a grid of letters. When you do this, you remember the words better and also get better at spelling. It's like a puzzle adventure that helps you learn and remember words in a really enjoyable way!

This is ALL the printable 2nd grade word sorts for Pearson Savvas Realize Grade 2. The reading program is also known as MyView Literacy.

Did you know it has been proven that when students use word sorts, they understand their words longer and deeper?

There is a Google Document with links to Google Slides for every list. Print the lists for a hands-on experience of word sorting. Students will cut out the words on the sides of the paper and sort them based on the spelling or phonics pattern. The words may appear small on the screen, but once you print the slide, the words are perfect to read.

Word sorts are important for students to learn spelling words because they provide a hands-on and interactive approach to developing spelling skills. Here are some reasons why word sorts are beneficial:

1. Categorization and Organization: Word sorts involve categorizing words based on their spelling patterns, phonics rules, or other linguistic features. By sorting words into groups, students develop an understanding of how words are related and organized, which helps them make connections and identify patterns in spelling.
2. Active Engagement: Word sorts require students to actively engage with the words by manipulating and sorting them. This hands-on approach helps reinforce learning and enhances retention. It also encourages students to take ownership of their learning process.
3. Analytical Thinking: Word sorts promote analytical thinking as students analyze the similarities and differences among words. They develop critical thinking skills by examining the spelling patterns, letter combinations, and phonetic elements within words.
4. Pattern Recognition: By sorting words into categories, students begin to recognize recurring patterns and structures in spelling. They become more aware of common prefixes, suffixes, vowel patterns, and consonant clusters. This awareness helps them apply spelling patterns to new words and make educated guesses about word spellings.
5. Vocabulary Development: Word sorts expose students to a variety of words with similar spelling patterns. This exposure expands their vocabulary and helps them understand the relationships between words. It also enhances their word recognition skills, which can improve reading comprehension.
6. Reinforcement of Phonics Skills: Word sorts align with phonics instruction and reinforce the phonics skills students are learning. They allow students to practice applying phonetic knowledge to real words, which improves their ability to decode and encode words accurately.
7. Independent Learning: Word sorts can be used as independent learning activities. Once students become familiar with the process, they can complete word sorts on their own, giving them a sense of autonomy and self-directed learning. It also allows teachers to differentiate instruction based on individual student needs.

Here is what I do for spelling class each week.

Monday: Students will cut out and move their words into the correct spelling pattern category. Some words on our lists do not fit the category. We would consider those words oddballs. You can place those words outside the list but still practice saying the words out loud. Students will keep their words in a bag in their desk or chair pocket until the next day.

Tuesday: Students get their words back out and try to sort the words quicker. (Speed Sort). 

Wednesday: Students will write their words in their notebook as a list or draw a picture and write their words inside of the picture.

Thursday: We use a different organizer (worksheet) each week to practice our words.

Friday: We take our quiz.
