OU OW Digraphs Worksheet – 2nd Grade Long Vowels Practice + Answer Key

Looking for simple, effective digraphs practice for second grade? The OU OW Digraphs Worksheet is a ready-to-print phonics resource that students can complete on their own after a short introduction.

Learning objective: Students will build accuracy and confidence with digraphs through short, focused practice that reinforces what was taught in class.

Why it works: Each page targets one skill, so students get meaningful repetition without feeling overwhelmed. The layout is clean and uncluttered, which helps young learners focus on the task instead of the decorations.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Read each sentence. Choose the word from the box that best completes it, and write it on the line." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

Grade level: Designed for second grade students. It also works well for first grade and third grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Assign it after a mini-lesson, use it in a small group, send it home as homework, keep it in your sub folder, or use it as a quick formative check.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.

Teaching tips and variations:

• Slip the page into a sheet protector so students can practice again with dry-erase markers.
