Description

Putting words in ABC order is one of the first real reference skills children learn, and it is the key to using a dictionary, a glossary or a class list on their own. This Christmas Religious ABC Order Worksheet gives second graders ten words from the Christmas story and season — advent, angel, candle, church, gifts, joy, peace, prayer, shepherd and star — to sort from A to Z. Four pairs of words start with the same letter, so students have to look past the first letter and compare the second one, which is the step where alphabetizing gets tricky.

This 2nd grade alphabetical order worksheet is simple to use. Students read the ten words in the green word box, find the word that comes first in the alphabet, and write it on line 1. They cross each word off as they go and keep working until all ten lines are filled. When two words begin with the same letter, such as candle and church, they look at the next letter to decide which one comes first. A cheerful picture of a candle, two gifts and a star at the bottom shows three of the words from the box. The answer key on page two lists every word in the correct order.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • Word box with 10 Christmas words
  • 10 writing lines for the words in ABC order

Here are three reasons this Christmas religious ABC order worksheet helps kids. First, it moves students beyond first-letter sorting and teaches them to compare the second letter, a skill they will need for every dictionary task ahead. Second, writing each word by hand gives extra spelling practice with meaningful holiday vocabulary. Third, the words come from the true story of Christmas, so the practice fits naturally into a December lesson, a church class or a family devotion time.

Teachers can use this page as a morning warm-up, a literacy center or a quiet activity during the busy weeks before winter break. Parents and homeschool families can talk about what each word means in the Christmas story before their child begins. To stretch the lesson, have students write the words on small cards and race to put them in order, or ask them to add two more Christmas words and fit them into the list. The answer key makes checking quick, so students can correct their own work.
