Spelling List 18: Vowel Teams Oi, Oy Worksheets for 2nd Grade

What your child practices

List 18 is a 2nd grade spelling list (Grade 2 in Canada) built around vowel teams oi, oy, with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. In the early grades, spelling and phonics grow together: when children can hear the sounds in a word, they can write it, and every list builds on that link. The set includes Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.2.2d, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches RF.2.3b, phonics and decoding words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 2. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Tap out the sounds in each word before spelling it. Hearing the sounds comes first.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
• Say each word aloud, have your child spell it, then check together. Talk about the vowel teams oi, oy pattern.
