Picture Crossword with Clothes — 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 clothes word is the genuine skill, dressed as a crossword.

Generalizing spelling patterns to write words is the heart of second-grade L.2.2.d, and a crossword exercises it directly: every clothes clue is a word the child must spell into the grid. Because crossing words share letters, the puzzle checks itself — a clean grid means clean spelling. That immediate feedback makes a child attend to every letter.

Children enjoy the click of a crossword fitting together, and a clean grid is a satisfying proof of careful spelling. When this is easy, spell the words in picture crossword with colors, or try picture crossword with farm animals.
