Grade 2 students practice the three main long-i spelling patterns in this worksheet: igh as in night, y as in cry, and ie as in pie, contrasted with short-i CVC words like pig and sit. The activity includes a sorting task, five fill-in-the-blank sentences, and four true-or-false questions. Each item offers a clear hint and explanation so Grade 2 learners build confidence recognizing long-i patterns and mastering CCSS RF.2.3a phonics standards during daily reading instruction.
