This Grade 2 worksheet focuses on long-o vowel teams oa and ow, as in boat and snow, compared with short-o CVC words like hop and pot. Students complete nine fill-in-the-blank sentences and a matching activity that connects each word to its vowel pattern. Hints and explanations guide every answer, helping Grade 2 learners notice when two vowels team up and when a single vowel stays short. Activities align with CCSS RF.2.3a and strengthen decoding and spelling skills.
