2nd Grade Personal Pronouns Worksheets
A pronoun is a small word that takes the place of a noun so we don't repeat names over and over: he, she, it, we, they, me, her, my. Second graders find the pronouns in a sentence and say which noun each one replaces. In "Maya lost her jacket," the pronoun is "her."

How to teach this
Read a short paragraph that repeats a name in every sentence, then read the natural version with pronouns. Kids hear immediately why pronouns exist. On the worksheet, the routine is find the small stand-in words, then say out loud who each one means. Watch for "it": students skip it constantly because it feels invisible.
Watch for: Words like my, his, and their are pronouns too. They show who owns something. The word 'it' is easy to skip because it's short. It still counts.
Common questions about personal pronouns
- What is a pronoun for a 2nd grader?
- A word that stands in for a name. Instead of "Maya lost Maya's jacket," we say "Maya lost her jacket." Words like he, she, it, we, they, and her do that stand-in job, and finding them is what these worksheets practice.
- Why does my child keep missing the word "it"?
- Because "it" is short and appears everywhere, kids read right over it. Prompt them to slow down and check every two-letter word. Once they catch "it" a few times, the habit sticks.
