Picture Crossword with Supermarket Things — Grade 2

Spell the words to fill the crossword! On this Grade 2 worksheet a picture clue points to each word, and the child writes it into the grid square by square. Because the words cross, a letter spelled wrong in one throws off another — so the puzzle rewards careful spelling. Generalizing the spelling patterns of second grade to spell each supermarket things word is the genuine skill, dressed as a crossword.

The L.2.2.d skill is orthographic: knowing how words are spelled and producing them correctly. A crossword is a natural fit, because the interlocking words check each other — share a letter at every crossing, and an error shows up at once. Spelling supermarket things words into the grid gives a second grader real spelling practice with built-in feedback, no answer key needed.

Children enjoy the click of a crossword fitting together, and a clean grid is a satisfying proof of careful spelling.

You can also browse every picture crossword or the whole second-grade collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more words a child spells into a grid, the surer their second-grade spelling grows, one crossing word at a time.
