Second Grade High Frequency Word List
Second grade students are expected to know 71 Kindergarten high
frequency words, 143 First Grade high frequency words, and 133
additional high frequency words by the end of the school year. Students
are asked to read these words aloud from a list. Words are scored as
being correct if they are recognized and pronounced accurately and
quickly. Mastering increasing number of high frequency words is
evidence that students are moving toward becoming fluent readers.
The emphasis on these basic words is to promote reading success for
students by establishing the opportunity to acquire vocabulary that is
encountered consistently in printed material.
Acquiring a large reading vocabulary is the foundation for the
comprehension of printed text. This is a key to reading success.
