About this worksheet

Sentences with a missing word. Pick between two vowel team words that look alike.

What kids practice

In first grade your child learned teams that say long vowel sounds, like ai in rain. Second grade adds teams that make brand new sounds: oo in moon and book, ou and ow in house and cow, oi and oy in coin and boy, aw and au in saw and sauce, ie and igh in pie and light, and ew and ue in new and glue. These vowel teams are a big part of second grade phonics.

Watch for

  • Saying each letter on its own, like o-i in coin.
  • Spelling a sound with the wrong team, like boi for boy. That's normal while the patterns settle in.
  • Reading ow as in snow when the word is cow. Try both sounds.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full vowel teams phonics guide for 2nd grade.
