Grade 2 Reading Worksheet - Building Confidence
Write the vowel team from the box that completes the word.
someone who trains a team
twelve o'clock at night
food on a hook to catch fish
balls of ice that fall from the sky
a dog wags it
a black rock that burns
it has leaves and a trunk
very far up from the ground
going far down
how fast something moves
A vowel team is two or more letters that work together to spell one vowel sound. This review sheet brings together the long vowel teams second graders meet: ai and ay for long a, ee and ea for long e, oa and ow for long o, igh, ie and y for long i, and ue and ew for long u. A box at the top lists five of the teams, and below it ten words are shown in letter boxes with the team left out.
A short clue tells what each word means, so the child works out the word and then writes the team from the box that spells it. Each version of the sheet uses a different set of five teams. Ask your child to say each word slowly, listen for the long vowel, and check the spelling by reading the word again with the team filled in.
Common Core standard: RF.2.3.B
The clue is it floats on water, and the boxes show b, two empty boxes and t. The word is boat, and the box holds oa, so the empty boxes get oa.
Choosing a team that makes the right sound but is not how the word is spelled, such as bote for boat.
Say the word. Use the clue to find it, then look in the box for the team.
