In grade 2, word problems are mostly one-step addition and subtraction stories — and the big skill is reading carefully: join, separate, part-part-whole, compare. Young readers need short sentences, familiar situations (pets, snacks, toys), and plenty of repetition. The generator below doesn’t write word problems — it builds the addition and subtraction fluency those stories rely on, so the numbers never slow the reading down. Choose Addition or Subtraction, pick a level from Easy to Hard, print, and use the answer key to spend class time on thinking, not checking. Read a problem aloud together first — the discussion is the lesson.
