Description
The vowel teams oi and oy make the very same sound, and knowing which one to write is one of the trickiest spelling choices a second grader faces. This oi oy digraphs worksheet gives students focused practice with both teams in one place, first inside real sentences and then in a sorting chart. Because oi almost always sits in the middle of a word while oy almost always ends one, students who work through this page walk away with a rule they can actually use when they write.
The worksheet has two parts and takes about ten minutes. In Part A students read three short sentences, choose the right word from the word box, and write it on the line, so the vowel team is practiced in context rather than in isolation. In Part B they read six oi and oy words and copy each one under the correct heading, which forces them to look closely at where the vowel team falls inside the word. A pot of soil sits under the oi column and a toy train under the oy column, giving children a picture anchor for each spelling. This second grade digraphs worksheet finishes with a full answer key.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page covering both the oi and oy vowel teams
- Part A: a three-word word box and three fill-in-the-blank sentences
- Part B: a six-word sorting box with oi and oy columns and roomy writing lines
- An illustrated example word under each sorting column
- A complete answer key showing every sentence and both sorted lists
This oi oy digraphs worksheet helps children in three important ways. First, it builds decoding accuracy, because a student has to hear the sound and then decide which of two spellings the word uses. Second, it strengthens spelling, since sorting the words by position teaches the oi-in-the-middle and oy-at-the-end pattern instead of asking children to memorize each word. Third, it supports comprehension, because the sentences give every word a meaning to hold on to.
Teachers and parents can get more out of this page with a few small moves. Read the six sorting words aloud first and have students point to the vowel team before they write anything. After the page is finished, challenge students to add one more word of their own to each column. Keep a running oi and oy chart on the wall and let children add words they meet in books. Homeschool families can turn the sorting box into a quick spelling quiz the next day.
