2nd Grade Spelling Worksheet for List #4 - Free Printable

Let’s go through each word one by one. We’ll look at the picture clue and the letters given on the right to figure out which letter fits in the blank.

1. f__rk → Picture is a fork. The missing letter is “o” → fork
2. s__oon → Picture is a spoon. Missing letter is “p” → spoon
3. tra__ → Picture is a train (looks like a toy train). Missing letter is “i” → train
4. bask__t → Picture is a basket. Missing letter is “e” → basket
5. __urger → Picture is a burger. Missing letter is “h” → hamburger? Wait — it says “__urger”, so just “h” for “hunger”? No — picture is a burger, so it’s “h” for “hamburger” but written as “__urger” → actually, it’s “h” for “hamburger” shortened? Let’s check: “h” + “urger” = “hurger”? That’s not right. Wait — maybe it’s “b” for “burger”? But “b” is already used? Let’s think again.

Wait — let’s list all the words with their pictures:

1. fork → f_o_rk → o
2. spoon → s_p_oon → p
3. train → tra_i_n → i
4. basket → bask_e_t → e
5. burger → _h_urger? Or _b_urger? Picture is a hamburger or cheeseburger — usually we say “burger”. So if it’s “__urger”, first letter missing → should be “b” → burger

But wait — option 5 is “__urger” — two blanks? No — looking back: “5.__urger” — that’s one blank at start. So “_urger” → needs “b” → burger

6. ch__ps → Picture is chips (bag of potato chips). Missing letter is “i” → chips

7. j__ice → Picture is juice box. Missing letter is “u” → juice

8. __orn → Picture is corn. Missing letter is “c” → corn

9. sala__ → Picture is salad bowl. Missing letter is “d” → salad

10. __rill → Picture is grill (barbecue). Missing letter is “g” → grill

11. blanke__ → Picture is blanket. Missing letter is “t” → blanket

12. nap__in → Picture is napkin. Missing letter is “k” → napkin

13. water__elon → Picture is watermelon. Missing letter is “m” → watermelon

Now let’s match each answer to the letter choices on the right: c, b, i, d, g, o, k, m, p, y, e, u, t

Let’s assign:

1. fork → o
2. spoon → p
3. train → i
4. basket → e
5. burger → b
6. chips → i → wait, “i” already used? But letters can repeat? The instructions don’t say letters are unique. Looking at the list: there are 13 words and 13 letters listed — so probably each letter is used once.

Wait — count the letters on the right:
c, b, i, d, g, o, k, m, p, y, e, u, t → that’s 13 letters. And 13 questions. So each letter is used exactly once.

So we must assign each letter only once.

Let’s redo carefully:

We have these words and need to pick from: c, b, i, d, g, o, k, m, p, y, e, u, t

1. f__rk → fork → needs “o” → use “o”
2. s__oon → spoon → needs “p” → use “p”
3. tra__ → train → needs “i” → use “i”
4. bask__t → basket → needs “e” → use “e”
5. __urger → burger → needs “b” → use “b”
6. ch__ps → chips → needs “i” → but “i” already used! Problem.

Wait — “chips” — is it “chips” or “chops”? Picture looks like potato chips — so “chips”. But “i” is already taken by “train”.

Alternative: maybe “ch__ps” is “chops”? But picture doesn’t look like pork chops — it looks like a bag of chips. Hmm.

Wait — perhaps I misread #3. “tra__” — could it be “trap”? But picture is a train. Unless... no, it’s clearly a train.

Maybe “ch__ps” is “chaps”? No, that doesn’t fit.

Another idea: maybe “ch__ps” is “chips” and we use “i”, but then what about “train”? Is there another possibility?

“tra__” — if not “train”, what else? “tray”? But picture is a train. “track”? Doesn’t fit.

Perhaps the letter “y” is for something else.

Let’s list all correct spellings:

1. fork → o
2. spoon → p
3. train → i
4. basket → e
5. burger → b
6. chips → i → conflict
7. juice → u
8. corn → c
9. salad → d
10. grill → g
11. blanket → t
12. napkin → k
13. watermelon → m

Now letters needed: o, p, i, e, b, i, u, c, d, g, t, k, m → but “i” appears twice, and we only have one “i” in the list.

The available letters are: c, b, i, d, g, o, k, m, p, y, e, u, t — note there is a “y” but no second “i”.

So one of our assumptions is wrong.

Which word might not need “i”?

Look at #6: “ch__ps” — if it’s “chops”, then it would be “o”, but “o” is already used for “fork”.

“chaps”? Not common.

Perhaps “ch__ps” is “chips” and we use “i”, and for #3 “tra__”, maybe it’s “tray”? But picture is a train.

Wait — let’s look at the picture for #3 again. In the original image description, it says “tra__” with a picture of a train. But maybe it’s “trap”? No.

Another possibility: “tra__” could be “trail”? But that’s 5 letters, and “tra__” suggests 5-letter word with last two missing? “tra__” has 5 characters: t,r,a,_,_ — so 5-letter word. “Train” is 5 letters: t,r,a,i,n — so blanks are for “i” and “n”? But the blank is only one underscore? In the text it’s written as “3. tra__” — that might mean two blanks? Let’s check the original problem format.

In the user’s message, it’s written as:

3. tra__

That likely means two letters missing? But in standard notation, “tra__” often means two blanks, so the word is 5 letters: positions 4 and 5 missing.

Similarly, “f__rk” — that’s f, _, _, r, k — so 5 letters, blanks at 2 and 3? But “fork” is 4 letters. Contradiction.

I think there’s a formatting issue. Let me re-read the original:

"1. f__rk" — this probably means "f _ _ r k" but that would be 5 letters, while "fork" is 4. Unless it's "fork" with a double letter? No.

Perhaps the underscores represent single blanks, and the word length varies.

For "f__rk" — if it's "fork", it should be "f_or_k" or something. I think the notation is that each underscore is one missing letter, and the word is spelled with those letters.

"f__rk" — likely means the word is 5 letters: f, ?, ?, r, k. But "fork" is 4 letters. This is confusing.

Perhaps it's a typo or misformatting. In many such worksheets, "f__rk" means "f _ r k" with one blank, but written with two underscores by mistake.

Looking at common 2nd grade words:

- fork: f-o-r-k → so if written as "f__rk", it might be intended as "f_or_k" but that's not standard.

Another idea: perhaps the number of underscores indicates the number of missing letters, and we need to fill them with one letter each, but some words have multiple blanks.

Let's assume that each blank is one letter, and the word is completed by adding that letter.

For example:

1. f__rk → if it's "fork", then it should be "f_or_k" but that's not matching. Perhaps it's "frank"? But picture is fork.

I think there's a mistake in my initial assumption. Let's look for standard answers.

Perhaps "f__rk" is meant to be "fork" with the 'o' missing, so one blank, but written with two underscores. In many fonts, it might appear as one.

To resolve this, let's consider the most logical completions based on pictures and common words.

List of words with pictures:

1. fork → missing 'o'
2. spoon → missing 'p'
3. train → missing 'i' (for "train")
4. basket → missing 'e'
5. burger → missing 'b'
6. chips → missing 'i' — but conflict
7. juice → missing 'u'
8. corn → missing 'c'
9. salad → missing 'd'
10. grill → missing 'g'
11. blanket → missing 't'
12. napkin → missing 'k'
13. watermelon → missing 'm'

Letters available: c, b, i, d, g, o, k, m, p, y, e, u, t

If we assign:

1. o
2. p
3. i
4. e
5. b
6. ? — needs i, but i taken
7. u
8. c
9. d
10. g
11. t
12. k
13. m

Leftover letter is 'y'. So one word must use 'y'.

Which word could use 'y'?

Look at #6: "ch__ps" — if it's "chyps"? No. "chips" is correct.

#9: "sala__" — "salad" uses 'd', but could it be "salay"? No.

#3: "tra__" — if it's "tray", then it would be "t,r,a,y" — so "tra_y" — but it's written as "tra__", which might imply two letters, but "tray" is 4 letters, so "tra_" with one blank.

Perhaps "tra__" is "train" and we use 'i', and for "ch__ps", it's "chops" and we use 'o', but 'o' is used for "fork".

Unless "fork" is not using 'o'? But it must.

Another possibility: "f__rk" might be "frank" — but picture is fork, not frank.

Perhaps the picture for #1 is not fork? But in the description, it's "fork".

Let's think differently. Maybe "ch__ps" is "chips" and we use 'i', and for "train", it's not the word; perhaps it's "trap" or "track", but picture is train.

Wait — in the original problem, for #3, the picture might be of a "tray"? But the user said "train".

Upon second thought, in many such lists, "tra__" with a picture of a train is "train", and "ch__ps" with a picture of chips is "chips", so both need 'i', but we have only one 'i'.

Unless the letter 'y' is for "baby" or something, but no.

Let's check #9: "sala__" — if it's "salad", 'd', but could it be "salon"? No, picture is salad.

#10: "__rill" — "grill", 'g'

#11: "blanke__" — "blanket", 't'

#12: "nap__in" — "napkin", 'k'

#13: "water__elon" — "watermelon", 'm'

All seem correct.

Perhaps "ch__ps" is "chaps" — but that's not common for 2nd grade, and picture is chips.

Another idea: perhaps "ch__ps" is "chips" and the letter is 'i', and for "train", it's "trai n" but the blank is for 'n'? But "tra__" suggests two blanks.

Let's count the underscores:

In the user's message:

1. f__rk — two underscores
2. s__oon — two underscores
3. tra__ — two underscores
4. bask__t — two underscores
5. __urger — one underscore at beginning
6. ch__ps — two underscores
7. j__ice — two underscores
8. __orn — one underscore
9. sala__ — two underscores
10. __rill — one underscore
11. blanke__ — two underscores
12. nap__in — two underscores
13. water__elon — two underscores

So for words with two underscores, we need to fill two letters? But that doesn't make sense because the words are short.

For example, "f__rk" — if two letters missing, what word is f??rk? "Frank" is f,r,a,n,k — so "f__rk" could be "frank" with 'r' and 'a' missing? But picture is fork, not frank.

This is problematic.

Perhaps the underscores are not indicating the number of missing letters, but rather the position, and we fill one letter per blank, but some blanks are for the same letter or something.

I recall that in some worksheets, "f__rk" means the word is "fork" and the 'o' is missing, so one letter, but written with two underscores for spacing.

To resolve this, let's assume that each item has one missing letter, and the number of underscores is irrelevant or a formatting error.

Then, as before, we have a conflict with 'i' for "train" and "chips".

Unless "ch__ps" is "chops", and we use 'o', but 'o' is for "fork".

Or "ch__ps" is "chips" and we use 'i', and "train" is not the word; perhaps it's "tray", and we use 'y'.

Let's try that.

Suppose #3 "tra__" is "tray" — so missing 'y' at the end. Then "tray" is t,r,a,y — so "tra_y" — but it's written as "tra__", which might accommodate 'y' as the fourth letter.

Then for #6 "ch__ps" — "chips" , missing 'i'.

Then letters:

1. fork -> o
2. spoon -> p
3. tray -> y (instead of train)
4. basket -> e
5. burger -> b
6. chips -> i
7. juice -> u
8. corn -> c
9. salad -> d
10. grill -> g
11. blanket -> t
12. napkin -> k
13. watermelon -> m

Now letters used: o,p,y,e,b,i,u,c,d,g,t,k,m

Available letters were: c,b,i,d,g,o,k,m,p,y,e,u,t — yes, all matched, and 't' is used for "blanket".

Perfect! So "tra__" is "tray", not "train". The picture might be of a tray, not a train. In the user's description, they said "train", but perhaps it's a tray. Or in the actual image, it's a tray.

Given that, this works.

So final assignments:

1. f__rk → fork → o
2. s__oon → spoon → p
3. tra__ → tray → y
4. bask__t → basket → e
5. __urger → burger → b
6. ch__ps → chips → i
7. j__ice → juice → u
8. __orn → corn → c
9. sala__ → salad → d
10. __rill → grill → g
11. blanke__ → blanket → t
12. nap__in → napkin → k
13. water__elon → watermelon → m

And the letters are all used once.

So the answers are:

1. o
2. p
3. y
4. e
5. b
6. i
7. u
8. c
9. d
10. g
11. t
12. k
13. m

Now to write the final answer as the completed words or the letters? The task is to fill in the blanks with the correct letter, so probably list the letter for each.

But the instruction says "fill in the blanks", so for the answer, we can list the completed words or the letters chosen.

Since the question is to solve the problem, and the problem is to fill the blanks, I'll provide the letter for each item.

Final Answer:
1. o
2. p
3. y
4. e
5. b
6. i
7. u
8. c
9. d
10. g
11. t
12. k
13. m
