Suggestions for Additional Activities

1. Note that "oy" and "oi" have the same sound.  Make words by adding sounds to "oy" and "oi".  Which words make sense and which spelling is correct?  Usually, "oy" is the best choice for the end of a word.  And, "oi" is best in the middle of a word.  For instance, consider "toy" and "toil".  This is a very hard game that requires lots of help from an adult.
