Elementary kanji second year
From Conservapedia
This entry makes use of Japanese characters and will require Japanese language support to be installed on your computer in order to avoid the characters being replaced by question marks, or blanked out.
These are the 160 kanji characters that are taught in grade 2 (age 8) at Japanese elementary schools. They are listed in the order in which they are taught. In some cases, there are no on'yomi or kun'yomi readings for the kanji. In this case, the cell has been left blank.
With the kun'yomi reading, the declensional kana ending (Okurigana) has been added in parenthesis, where appropriate.
The last column contains the radical (bushu 部首) associated with the specific kanji character, as well as the radical's number, according to the Bushu Index. This, together with the stroke count, will enable you to look up the kanji in a dictionary, or an on-line multi radical lookup.
