Spelling List 26: Adding Ed (double, Drop E) Worksheets for 2nd Grade

What your child practices

List 26 is a 2nd grade spelling list (Grade 2 in Canada) built around adding ed (double, drop e), with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. In the early grades, spelling and phonics grow together: when children can hear the sounds in a word, they can write it, and every list builds on that link. The set includes Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. It is aligned to Common Core L.2.2d, which focuses on capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches RF.2.3d, phonics and decoding words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 2. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

• Tap out the sounds in each word before spelling it. Hearing the sounds comes first.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
