2nd Grade Age 7-8 Worksheets and Workbooks

Boost Academic Success with our Printable 2nd Grade Worksheets

Second grade is an empowering time for a child: at this age, their reading skill set expands, and helps them to understand the world around them in new ways.

Mrs Wordsmith offers a range of resources to support and enrich this formative stage of life, including worksheets for second graders, books, games, workbooks for 2nd graders, and more. Some of the resources described on this page are appropriate for other age groups as well, so you may have seen them before.

Kids around this age are typically entering the final phase of phonics instruction, applying the skills they've learned so far to new content, and improving fluency and reading comprehension. For kids who still need some phonics review our collection of worksheets for 2nd graders includes our Foolproof Phonics Part 2 printable. Foolproof Phonics takes kids through the different levels of phonics learning and the terms they need to know, exactly the way they do it in school, and Part 2 continues where Part 1 left off. Although it is aimed at first graders, it may still be helpful for older kids. These printables are engaging and fun, taking the stress out of learning letter-sound correspondences. For more fun phonics recapping, add our Blah Blah Blah Phonics Card Game to the rotation. It's a home- and classroom-friendly game that will have everyone laughing.

Meanwhile, kids can help improve their spelling with our specialized 2nd grade worksheets. Spelling is important, and even when it is not explicitly tested, it is assessed in writing. Start with our Spelling Targeted Practice 2nd grade English worksheets, which introduce the key spelling patterns that kids need to know for school at this age. Then, move on to our Spelling Mixed Practice 2nd grade worksheets for more practice. These worksheets for 8 year olds and 7 year olds are colorful and engaging, encouraging kids to get excited about taking charge of their learning.

In second grade, kids will continue to develop their early emotional intelligence. They'll start to understand their own emotions and the emotions of others better. To help with this, our Mrs Wordsmith's 37 House Rules printable workbook draws on academic research to bring essential house rules to life, and teach kids to self-regulate. It’s a helpful resource for sprinkling some fun on conversations around behavior and respect.

Beyond 2nd grade worksheets, you can expand your child's vocabulary (and creative imagination!) with our My Epic Life Word Book and My Epic Life Daily Word Workout. These colorful books cover a wide range of topics and are packed with synonyms, antonyms, and overall mind-blowing vocabulary to show kids the epic scope and flexibility of language. 

From phonics and spelling to vocabulary and social emotional learning, Mrs Wordsmith has your second grader covered!
