Picture Crossword with Fruits — Grade 2

Fill the crossword by spelling. This Grade 2 worksheet gives a child picture clues for fruit and a grid to spell them into, across and down. Each word shares letters with the words it crosses, so accurate spelling is its own check. Generalizing the spelling patterns a second grader knows to write each word is the real L.2.2.d work, and the grid makes the puzzle satisfying to complete.

By second grade, children spell familiar words from memory, applying patterns rather than copying. A picture crossword draws on exactly that: each fruit clue asks a child to recall a word's spelling and write it letter by letter. The crossing grid rewards accuracy — a word spelled right fits its neighbours, a word spelled wrong does not — so the puzzle quietly trains careful spelling.

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 furniture, or try picture crossword with musical instruments. 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.
