ReadingKEY Grade 2
Vocabulary Building Worksheets

Lessons 1-36 provide you with important worksheets to assist in reaching mastery of the 800+ reading words designated as "mandatory" reading vocabulary for Grade 2.  Each Lesson covers up to 24 new vocabulary words and typically requires 1 week for complete mastery with 7-8 year old students.  Words have been arranged from the "Most Common" at the beginning Lessons to the "Lesser Common" toward the end.  This provides you the most logical and efficient order for instruction  throughout the school year.  Worksheet exercises include the strategies - "Recognition Memory testing" - "Scrambled Letters" - and "Sentence Writing Practice"  for enhancing word memorization.  There are 4 worksheets per week which give you a total of 144 worksheets for the entire 2nd Grade school year.  When students can correctly read the vocabulary words presented in these worksheets, our research has shown they will routinely score in the top 25% on national standardized reading tests.
