Eight pages on the spellings that make more than one sound, a key skill for second grade readers. Children cut out words to sort by sound, c as in cat or city, g as in goat or gem, oo as in moon or book, ow as in snow or cow, ea as in leaf or bread, read words and circle the key word with the same sound, and say picture names to choose moon or book, snow or cow.
Teach the habit of flexing: if a word does not sound right one way, try the other sound. For c and g, look at the next letter: before e, i or y, c usually says s and g often says j.
When your child gets stuck on a word with oo, ow or ea, ask "What is the other sound it can make?" and try both.
Worksheets on letters and vowel teams that make two sounds: c as in cat or city, g as in goat or gem, oo as in moon or book, ow as in snow or cow and ea as in leaf or bread. Children sort words by the sound they make, circle the key word with the same sound, and say picture names to match their sounds.
