Zinc oxide is a base, while sulfuric acid is an acid. Their reaction is neutralization. The word equation is :
base + acid → salt + water

Then, the balanced equation is :
ZnO(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → ZnSO₄ + H₂O(l)

Among all reactants and products :
ZnO is insoluble in water, and thus it is not necessary to write in ionic form.
H₂SO₄ is a strong acid which almost completely dissociates in water giving 2H⁺ and SO₄²⁻.
ZnSO₄ is a soluble ionic compound, which completely dissociates in water giving Zn²⁺ and SO₄²⁻.
H₂O is molecular, which dissociates to a negligible extent, and thus it is not necessary to write in ionic form.

Thus, the complete ionic equation is :
ZnO(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l)

To cancel the spectator ion SO₄²⁻ on the both sides, the net ionic equation is :
ZnO(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) + H₂O(l)
