Grammar Second Grade Activities: Multiple Meaning Words

Our UPDATED second grade grammar lesson on multiple meaning words makes teaching grammar a piece of cake. Grammar is so important for kids to understand, but it can be tough to teach. There are so many rules and exceptions. It’s easy to second-guess yourself. And let’s face it, grammar isn’t always a ton of fun.

But with these UPDATED & IMPROVED lessons, your students can become excellent grammarians in just 10 minutes a day! Each no prep lesson comes complete with a full week of activities, including: a mini-lesson, interactive notebook activity (NOW with answer key), writing, task cards, and an assessment.

We’ve done all the planning and prep for you. Each lesson includes everything you need to teach, practice, and assess the weekly skill. Tricky grammar skills are broken down into bite-sized pieces. All you have to do is print and teach. And a JUST ADDED digital assessment makes weekly assessments a breeze. The digital assessment is editable, so you can customize it to meet your students’ needs.

***This UPDATED lesson is also part of a money-saving bundle. See the full-year Second Grade Grammar Bundle!***

The activities are simple to prep, and should only take about 10 minutes of class time. By the end of the week, your students will be able to confidently spot the definition of a multiple meaning word at 50 paces!
