Grade 2 Reading Worksheet
Circle the word with the same oo sound as the first word.
moose
boost
football
crook
cool
stool
bamboo
brook
foot
hoop
The letters oo are the same on the page but make two different sounds. The long oo sound is in moon, food and spoon. The short oo sound is in book, foot and good. A second grader who knows only one of these sounds will stumble on words such as cook or tooth, so this sheet asks the child to listen carefully. Each item shows one word, and below it three more words that all have oo in them.
Only one of the three has the same oo sound as the first word. The child says each word aloud, listens to the vowel sound, and circles the match. Ask your child to move their mouth to feel the difference: the long sound is lips rounded and tight, the short sound is looser.
Common Core standard: RF.2.3.B
The first word is moon. The choices are good, book and spoon. Moon and spoon have the same long oo sound, so circle spoon.
Choosing a word because it has oo in it, without listening for which oo sound it makes.
Say the first word, then each choice. Which choice has the same oo sound?
