What this worksheet teaches

• Use the silent-e rule to read pairs like hop and hope.
• Break two-syllable words into parts to read them accurately.
• Spell common sight words that do not follow regular sound patterns.
• Blend and read words containing common digraphs such as sh, ch, th and wh.

How to use this worksheet

Say every word out loud before writing anything. Phonics is a sound skill printed on paper, and a Grade 2 child who reads silently will guess from the first letter. If a word is read wrongly, cover all but the first sound and uncover the rest slowly rather than correcting the whole word at once.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. ca_ (t / b)
2. do_ (g / t)

Frequently asked questions

Should my child sound out every word, even known ones?

No. Familiar words should be read at sight; sounding out is for unfamiliar ones. If your child sounds out every single word, fluency practice with easy text will help alongside this sheet.

What are sight words doing on a phonics sheet?

Words such as said, come and one break the usual rules, so they must be learned by memory. Mixing a few into phonics practice stops a child from trying to sound out words that cannot be sounded out.

Is this suitable if my child is behind in reading?

Yes. The words are short and patterned, so the worksheet can be used with support at Grade 2 level or as catch-up practice for an older child working on the same patterns.
