Ah, it’s that time of the year again. You know the one when they begin flooding the TV airwaves with “Back to School” ads. Yes indeed, all the kids love it! Okay, that’s a stretch to say the least. However, I’m sure some children out there somewhere get stoked and excited about returning to school for a brand new year of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Are you one of them? Anyway, back to school at my house basically translates as 2nd grade.

This is why I need to get my seven year old daughter caught up with 2nd grade spelling words. Why would I get her into these you may ask? Because it’s great to get a head start on these things before school actually begins. You can get your child sent to the head of the class if you take the initiative to teach them a little at home.

Got any decent 2nd grade spelling words written down to quiz your child? This is an exercise my husband and I like to do with our daughter. We did it last year before she entered the first grade, and we are doing it this year before she enters the second.

The only difference is that now we’re using 2nd grade spelling words. Things are a tad more difficult and complex. This is completely fine because she has already learned so much in the first grade. How can we drill her with legitimate, up-to-date 2nd grade spelling words you might ask? That’s an easy one, especially if you have a home computer.
Look for “2nd grade spelling words.” online and you’ll get lists up lists of resources and useful websites giving you 2nd grade words.

Make a list or print it out. Then you can proceed in drilling your child with 2nd grade spelling words. Teach them how to pronounce them correctly, but also their meanings and spellings. In no time at all your child will be set and anxious for the new school year.  He/she will be ahead of schedule.

Are you still quizzing your child with terms they already know? Don’t waste your time.  If they’re heading into 2nd grade this year, then you need 2nd grade spelling words.

Work with them regularly and help them get a good head start. Bright minds certainly lead to bright futures.
