Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up ow sounds: ow can say the diphthong in cow and down, OR the long o in snow and blow, so Grade 2 readers must check the whole word.
• Confusing oi and oy placement: oi sits in the middle of words like coin and point, while oy belongs at the end of boy, toy, and joy.
• Missing the two oo sounds: short oo in book, foot, and good is different from long oo in moon, zoo, and food, and students often pick only one.
