This Grade 2 medium worksheet challenges students with nine fill-in-the-blank sentences mixing ou and ow words like house, clown, found, and flower. A matching activity pairs four words with their sound labels, so Grade 2 readers connect spelling patterns to pronunciation. Hints describe context and mouth movement, while explanations clarify the tricky dual role of ow, which can say the diphthong in cow or the long o in snow. Great Grade 2 practice for confident readers.
