Graphs and data worksheets, easiest first
Each sheet assumes the one above it is comfortable. Start where your child is, not at the top.
∣∣∣∣ = ? Tally charts Child does: Count the tally marks in fives. Try this worksheet 
How many more? Bar graphs Child does: Read the bars and answer the question. Try this worksheet 
= ? Picture graphs Child does: Count the symbols and use the key. Try this worksheet 
How many at 3½? Line plots Child does: Read the number line and count the marks. Try this worksheet
A simple way through graphs and data
Data is the one strand where the picture IS the question. Take the graph away and nothing is left to answer, which is why these sheets give the chart and ask about it rather than asking a child to draw one — drawing is a classroom job with something real to count, and a printable cannot mark it.
Why this order works
The four charts are one idea at four resolutions. A tally counts in fives, a picture graph counts symbols against a key, a bar graph reads a height against a scale, and a line plot puts the measurements themselves on a number line. A child who can read one is most of the way to reading the next, and the scale — ones, twos, fives, tens — is what moves each of them from grade 2 to grade 3.
