Below you will find printable word walls that target vocabulary terms that leveled for 2nd grade students. At the 2nd grade level we start to see students looking for word walls, but at the same time, out growing word walls as their brains are ready to store and access more information. They are getting use to using the word walls and relying on them a bit, but they are also looking to slowly express their independence. Students start to learn from flashcards and simple rote learning on their own. When first enter 2nd grade they are starting to break away from the use of word walls and just sight words in general. This is because second graders, that are on grade level for reading, begin to be able to us sentence context to determine the meaning of vocabulary words. They can always expand their core vocabulary library from the use of dictionaries and thesauruses, but the skills are in place so that they do not need those crutches.
