Second Grade Word Study
In second grade, students become more experienced readers with exposure to a variety of text, such as fiction, poetry, and informational text. A key component of the second grade curriculum is vocabulary and word instruction. Our Word Study Playlists are designed for easy vocabulary practice and easy sight words practice for students at every learning level.
Second grade students are expected to:
- Increase word usage and knowledge
- Discuss books, articles, and short stories
- Analyze and clarify language
By the end of the year, second graders should demonstrate an understanding of multiple-meaning words, know and apply grade-level phonics, and read with accuracy and fluency to comprehend text.
Must know second grade spelling words include sight words like BECAUSE, FRIEND, PEOPLE, PLEASE, THINK, and WHERE. Our second grade spelling playlists include Fry Words, which are lists of the most common words used in English.

Vocabulary Words
Watch your child’s vocabulary grow from ordinary to extraordinary! VocabularySpellingCity offers three types of vocabulary words lists:
- Rich Vocabulary – words with high utility among mature language users, yet related to concepts that are familiar to second graders
- General Academic Vocabulary – words associated with a specific content area such as math, science, social studies, or language arts
- Academic Talk – words and phrases that are found on high-stakes tests often in the directions or questions
Spelling Words
Learning to spell words is easy when following a continuum of spelling patterns. VocabularySpellingCity’s second grade spelling lists mirror a phonics progression by reviewing short and long vowels and then moving on to blends and digraphs for easy spelling practice.
High-Frequency Words
Recognizing words automatically is necessary for fluency and reading comprehension. VocabularySpellingCity has organized 100 of Fry’s High-Frequency words, for easy sight words practice, that second graders should effortlessly recognize while reading by the end of the school year.
Word Study Playlists Setup
These word lists combined with VocabularySpellingCity’s learning activities will benefit all second graders. When word study practice is dynamic and engaging, students succeed in developing and expanding their written and oral word knowledge and use. VocabularySpellingCity’s mission is to nurture and develop a love for words.
In just three easy steps, you can schedule your child’s word study learning path for the next few months or the whole school year. VocabularySpellingCity’s Playlists provide first through twelfth grade students with grade-level appropriate word lists for easy vocabulary practice, spelling practice, and high-frequency words practice that are paired with a week’s worth of engaging learning activities packed into automated assignments.
Your child will not only be exposed to new words but with built-in review lists, those words are kept alive. It is the practice of multiple exposures over an extended period of time that allows the newly acquired words to move into long-term memory.
