Ed Helper-Phonics Worksheets- Ed-Helper is one of the best resources for free worksheets available online! The phonics section is especially helpful. It ties in perfectly with some of the Words Their Way spelling instruction we do in 2nd grade.

TEACH-NOLOGY- Language Arts Worksheets –This site is another really comprehensive database of printable worksheets for various subjects and grade levels. However, for 2nd grade, I think that the Language Arts section is one of the most helpful areas of the site because it has worksheets that deal with 2nd grade reading comprehension skills such as sequencing. It also has links to entire units!

Super Teacher Worksheets-  This site provides a cross-curricular database of free printable resources, but the section that I think is most valuable for 2nd grade teachers is the reading section. These worksheets are general reading skills that could be applied to any text: ie- book reviews and worksheets that could be used as literature circle/guided reading extensions and seatwork.

For a low fee:

Teacher Vision- This website does charge a membership of $39.95 a year, but as a paying member, I will say that I think that the resources provided on the site are worth the fee. This site also provides a 7 day free trial as well as three free printable worksheets for anyone who might be interested in becoming a member. This site has printable worksheets on all subjects categorized and searchable by subject and grade level. One of the sections I find most helpful is the printable materials on grammar. This website also lets you preview the worksheets and shows you the books they came from, in case you want to purchase the entire book.

Reading A-Z- This is another membership based website, but this site has guided reading books for every reading level… from A-Z! The books are easy to access and print, and students really enjoy having a copy of a book to take home. If you are currently an elementary teacher, check with your principal- your school might already have a subscription to this amazing resource of printable books!

Math:

 

Math Cafe- This website offers free printable math worksheets for teachers, searchable by grade level or math skill. The section on time and money is particularly helpful for 2nd grade. You can also create your own fact worksheets.

Kidzone-Math Activity Worksheets- The kidzone website has worksheets to go with every unit, but some of the best worksheets are available on the math worksheets page. The page is color coded by concept and organized by difficulty of skill and grade level. Plus, for each worksheet, you can even choose the theme: farm, jungle or ocean.

A-Z Teacher Stuff-Math Worksheets- This website is another one that has various printable worksheets across content areas, however, the math section is most helpful because it covers a lot of 2nd grade content like patterns, are and perimeter.

Math Playground- This site provides more great math worksheets listed by content and grade level.  You can build your own worksheet or choose from a large variety of pre-made printable worksheets. This site also addresses key 2nd grade math skills.

Social Studies and Science:

 

Scholastic News- This website provides follow-up activities for scholastic news articles. What is helpful about this site it that if you don’t have a subscription to scholastic news, you can have students read articles on this website and then do the printed follow-up quizzes and worksheets.

Enchanted Learning- This is a wonderful database which provides a vast array of printable worksheets for teachers. However, registration is required at a $20.00 yearly fee. The weather section is particularly helpful for the 2nd grade science curriculum.

ABC Teach- This site is a great resources for all subject areas, but the science and social studies areas are most helpful for 2nd grade teachers because of the curricular connections- especially in the areas of earth, plants and animals. There are also some great worksheets and printable resources on social studies topics, such as elections and the constitution.
