Second Grade Spelling Homework
Dear 2nd Grade Parents and Guardians,
In order for your child to improve their reading skills, spelling practice is a very important part of the
process. Spelling practice assists children in their ability to decode words, recognize prefixes and suffixes, and
develop word meaning based on root words. This year, spelling homework will be assigned each night Monday
through Thursday, with a spelling test given each Friday.
You and your child can decide how you want the homework completed each night. A Speller’s Choice board
will be provided each week with options for homework completion. Your child can complete one assignment each
night or can complete more than one when a “free night” is needed. All homework will be completed in an assigned
spelling notebook, unless stated otherwise on the Speller’s Choice board. On the back of the board will be a place
for your child to copy and keep a list of the weekly spelling and vocabulary words.
An example of the Speller’s Choice board is attached for you to keep at home for reference.
Thank you in advance for assisting your child in this homework process!
