Second Grade Spelling
The Michigan Department of Education has identified 220 Basic Sight Words that need to be mastered (reading and writing) by the end of 2nd grade. Below you will find a list of words that your child is expected to master during the first marking period. (For most students these will be an easy review.) For students who may find it easier to work with partial lists, the words have been divided by date. A new list of words will go home at the beginning of each new marking period.
Instead of weekly tests, intermittent assessments will be given throughout the marking period to monitor your child's progress. As additional words are added each marking period, assessments will include all the words that have been introduced up to that point to ensure that spelling mastery has been met.
