In this reading exercise, students read many words containing <oy> and <oi> (e.g. “boy”” and “coin”). For efficiency and engagement, we find it best to work on extended code targets like <oy> and <oi> while also working on reading fluency (accuracy, speed and expression) with sentences and short passages.

This reading workout is about a father who enjoys spoiling his sons: two boys, named Roy and Troy.

This no-prep exercise can be used for:

• decoding practice; or
• word or sentence level written dictation (encoding) practice.
