Narrative:
Taxiway alpha pattern [was] in use. Second R22 [was] given taxi instruction to hold short of A1 on alpha contact ground. Read back [was] incomplete. [I] didn't correct. The first R22 cleared option runway 21R. [I] noticed the second R22 holding short of runway 21R at A1. I gave crossing instructions to the second R22 to cross runway 21R at A1. As he was crossing I noticed the first R22 holding on the numbers of runway 21R on his option. Recommendation; correct read back errors or omissions. Slow down. Scan runway. Locate all applicable traffic.
