What your child practices

Here, 4 worksheets help 2nd grade students (Grade 2 in Canada) learn and use Health Words, with 32 questions in all.

The sheets cover Match the Meaning, Fill in the Sentence, Synonyms and Antonyms and Which Word Fits. The skill matches Common Core L.2.4, the standard for working out the meaning of unknown words. It also touches L.2.6, learning and using new grade level words. 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

• Act out words when you can. Young learners remember a word they have moved to.
• Have your child write one sentence of their own for each new word.
• Pick three words from the Health Words list and use them in conversation during the week.
