English Alphabetical Order Worksheet 2 Grade 2 - Free Printable

Let’s go through each set of words or letters and put them in alphabetical order — that means from A to Z, just like in a dictionary.

We’ll do this one by one:

---

1. Letters: r y a q i f e

First, list all the letters:
r, y, a, q, i, f, e

Now sort them alphabetically:
a, e, f, i, q, r, y

✔ Final for #1: a e f i q r y

3. Words: boy big bib bed bat bee

List: boy, big, bib, bed, bat, bee

Compare first letter — all start with “b”, so look at second letter:

- bat → a
- bed → e
- bee → e (but then third letter: d vs e → bed comes before bee)
- bib → i
- big → i (then g vs b → bib before big? Wait — let’s check carefully)

Actually, let’s write them out and compare step by step:

bat → b-a-t
bed → b-e-d
bee → b-e-e
bib → b-i-b
big → b-i-g
boy → b-o-y

So order by second letter: a, e, e, i, i, o

Then for ties (bed & bee): third letter d < e → bed before bee
For bib & big: third letter b < g → bib before big

Final order: bat, bed, bee, bib, big, boy

✔ Final for #3: bat bed bee bib big boy

4. Words: write speak seven walk drive pick

List: write, speak, seven, walk, drive, pick

Look at first letters: w, s, s, w, d, p

Alphabetical order of first letters: d, p, s, s, w, w

So:

drive (d)
pick (p)
seven (s)
speak (s) → now compare “seven” and “speak”: s-e-v vs s-p-e → e comes before p → seven before speak
walk (w)
write (w) → w-a-l-k vs w-r-i-t-e → a before r → walk before write

Final: drive, pick, seven, speak, walk, write

✔ Final for #4: drive pick seven speak walk write

5. Words: shoes socks shirt park he west

List: shoes, socks, shirt, park, he, west

First letters: s, s, s, p, h, w

Order by first letter: h, p, s, s, s, w

he (h)
park (p)
shirt (s-h), shoes (s-h-o), socks (s-o) → wait, need to compare within “s” group

Shirt: s-h-i
Shoes: s-h-o
Socks: s-o-c

Compare second letter: h, h, o → so socks comes after shirt and shoes

Now between shirt and shoes: both s-h, then third letter: i vs o → i before o → shirt before shoes

Then socks

Then west (w)

Final: he, park, shirt, shoes, socks, west

✔ Final for #5: he park shirt shoes socks west

6. Words: carrot tomato potato onion turnip radish

List: carrot, tomato, potato, onion, turnip, radish

First letters: c, t, p, o, t, r

Order by first letter: c, o, p, r, t, t

carrot (c)
onion (o)
potato (p)
radish (r)
tomato (t), turnip (t) → compare second letter: o vs u → o before u → tomato before turnip

Final: carrot, onion, potato, radish, tomato, turnip

✔ Final for #6: carrot onion potato radish tomato turnip

7. Words: cake candle balloons candy glass party

List: cake, candle, balloons, candy, glass, party

First letters: c, c, b, c, g, p

Order by first letter: b, c, c, c, g, p

balloons (b)
cake (c-a), candle (c-a-n), candy (c-a-n-d) → all start with “ca”

Compare:

cake: c-a-k
candle: c-a-n
candy: c-a-n-d

After “ca”, next letter: k, n, n → k before n → cake first

Then candle and candy: both c-a-n, then d vs nothing? Actually, candle is 6 letters, candy is 5 — but we compare letter by letter:

candle: c-a-n-d-l-e
candy: c-a-n-d-y

Up to “cand” they are same. Then fifth letter: l (in candle) vs y (in candy)? Wait — no:

Wait, let’s spell correctly:

cake → c-a-k-e
candle → c-a-n-d-l-e
candy → c-a-n-d-y

So after “ca”:

cake → k
candle → n
candy → n

So cake comes first (k before n)

Then candle and candy: both have “can”, then fourth letter: d (both), fifth letter: l (candle) vs y (candy) → l before y → candle before candy

Then glass (g)
party (p)

Final: balloons, cake, candle, candy, glass, party

✔ Final for #7: balloons cake candle candy glass party
