Description
Pronouns are the small words that keep a sentence from repeating the same naming word again and again, and swapping a noun for the pronoun that fits is one of the first grammar moves a second grader makes on purpose. This replacing with pronouns worksheet gives students focused practice with both halves of that skill: choosing the object pronoun that replaces a naming word at the end of a sentence, and choosing the subject pronoun that replaces the naming word at the beginning. Students learn that him, her, it, them, and us stand in for people and things that receive the action, while he, she, it, and they stand in for the ones doing it.
On this printable, students read five sentences and use the word box to write the pronoun that can take the place of the bold naming words. A second section takes the word box away, so students supply the subject pronoun on their own and remember to begin it with a capital letter. Use this 2nd grade pronouns worksheet as guided practice after a mini lesson, as morning work, as a literacy center task, or as a quick check before you move on to possessive pronouns. The answer key makes it easy to grade in seconds or to let students check their own work with a partner.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 5 word-box sentences using object pronouns
- 3 write-it-yourself sentences using subject pronouns
- 1 illustrated sentence picture
Three reasons this activity helps kids learn to replace nouns with pronouns. First, the bold naming words show students exactly what they are replacing, so they can hear the substitution instead of guessing at it. Second, the word box in Part A supports students who are still building pronoun vocabulary, while Part B removes that support so the skill has to come from memory. Third, every sentence on this replacing with pronouns worksheet is short, concrete, and about familiar things like a wagon, a snack, and a class song, which keeps the reading load low so all of the thinking goes into the grammar.
Teachers and parents can stretch this skill past the page. Say a sentence out loud and have your child repeat it with a pronoun in place of the name. Reread a favorite picture book and hunt for pronouns, then point back to the noun each one replaces. Write family names on index cards, draw one at random, and race to name the matching pronoun. You can also have students revise a paragraph from their own writing by replacing every repeated name with a pronoun, which turns the skill into a real editing habit.
