About this resource
Description
This fish alphabetical order worksheet gives young readers a splash of ABC practice with ten fish names, from carp and cod to tetra and tuna. Students read the names in the word box and write them in ABC order on the numbered lines. Four pairs of fish start with the same letter, so children must look past the first letter and use the second letter to decide which name comes first.
About This Worksheet
The word box is printed out of order in large, easy-to-read type, and ten roomy writing lines sit below it in two columns. A bright crayon drawing of a tuna, a perch and a snapper, three of the fish from the box, finishes the page. The second page is an answer key that shows the full list in the correct order. This 2nd grade alphabetical order worksheet fits a literacy center, morning work, homework or a quick check after an ocean or animal unit.
What’s Included
- A ten-word fish name word box
- Ten numbered writing lines in two columns
- Four same-letter pairs that practice the second letter
- A complete answer key
Why It Helps Kids
First, putting words in ABC order builds the skill children need to use a dictionary, a glossary or an index. Second, the same-letter pairs move students beyond first-letter sorting to the second-letter step that 2nd graders are expected to master. Third, the fish names tie language practice to science, so children learn new animal words while they sort.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, have students circle the fish names that begin with the same letter. After they finish, ask them to add two more fish names and fit them into the list, or cut the words into cards and race to put them in order. Pair this fish alphabetical order worksheet with other animal ABC order pages for a themed week.
