Add to what your students learned in first grade by working with Easy Teacher Writing Grade 2 lessons.

As students progress through the education system, each grade offers more challenges. This is certainly the case with writing. What start out as a few disjointed words written down in nursery school should transition into more coherent sentences by the time kids reach second grade. Once students advance to the second grade they start to write, at least a little bit independently. This means with little to no prompts. They will often start their writing with a topic sentence and follow it with at least two supporting details. Writers at the 2nd grade level begin to understand their audience at a fundamental level and begin to write with purpose. The purpose primarily being to sway their readers towards their opinion. 2nd grade writers should have a arsenal at the ready to understand what their readers beliefs are and how to gravitate them towards their opinion in a subtle, but profound manner.

The Easy Teacher Writing 2nd Grade worksheets challenge students to unleash their inner Austen and Hemmingway. The second lesson asks students "If you could be an insect, what would you be and why." Imagination and observation come in handy for writing creative prose, which this series of lessons promotes. Fan the flames of joy for writing by getting your kids to interact with a pencil and paper and not a screen. These 2nd grade writing worksheets will encourage students to think in a creative manner and respond appropriately to prompts. The scenarios were written with students in mind. We strive to help students have fun while helping progress their writing skills.
