Grade 2 Reading Worksheet - Building Confidence
Write the vowel team from the box that completes the word.
tiny drops of water on grass in the morning
to hit and push someone you are angry at
you wear it with a shirt
a sudden scare
to say what is not true
next to, or near
not old
belonging to me
a long, sad breath out
a small buzzing bug
Long i and long u can be spelled in several ways, which is why they are some of the hardest vowel sounds for a second grader to spell. The long i sound is written igh in night, ie in pie and y in fly. The long u sound is written ue in blue and ew in new. This worksheet prints a box of the teams at the top, and below it ten words in letter boxes with the team left out.
A short clue under each word tells what it means, so the child can work out the word and then write the team that makes it. Ask your child to say the word slowly, listen for the long vowel, and look at the box to see which team fits the word.
Common Core standard: RF.2.3.B
The clue is when it is dark and you sleep, and the boxes show n, three empty boxes and t. The word is night, so the three empty boxes get igh.
Writing the team that sounds right but is not how the word is spelled, such as nite for night.
Say the word slowly. Use the clue to find the word, then look in the box for the team.
