Spelling OI/OY Words
Once your child can read oi/oy words with ease, transition into spelling oi/oy words. Make a T chart with “oi” on one side and “oy” on the other side. As your child finds oi/oy words in books, conversations, signs, or other places, have him or her write the words under the appropriate column. Your child will soon observe that most (but not all) words spelled with “oi” have the sound in the middle of the word, and most words spelled with “oy” have the sound at the end of the root word. Explain to him or her that if you add a suffix at the end of a word, it will look like the oi/oy sound is in the middle, but really it’s still at the end of the root word.
