Long I Spellings Worksheets for 1st and 2nd Grade

What your child practices

Long I Spellings is a core 1st and 2nd grade language arts skill (Grades 1 to 2 in Canada), and this set gives your child 59 questions over 6 worksheets. Young learners pick up language rules by seeing many short examples, so each page keeps the directions simple and the examples close to everyday speech. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. It is aligned to Common Core RF.1.3, which focuses on phonics and decoding words. It also touches L.2.2d, capital letters, punctuation and spelling. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 1. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. Before printing, try the Long I Spellings video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Read each direction aloud. At this age the skill matters more than reading the instructions.
• Praise effort and careful checking as much as a perfect score.
• Ask your child to explain why an answer is right, not just what it is.
