Grade 2 Spelling List 14 typically focuses on phonics patterns like the “-or-” sound, soft/hard “g” and “j” sounds, or long “o” vowel teams, depending on the curriculum used. Because schools follow different programs, List 14 can look different across classrooms. Below are the three most common standard variations of this list and the best interactive activities to master them. 📋 Common Variations of List 14 Option 1: The “-or-” Pattern & Science Vocabulary
This version is widely used in standard public school curricula like the K12reader Spelling Program. It blends phonetic practice with cross-curricular science terms.
Phonics & Sight Words: plan, went, warm, read, lie, short, core, sport, report, port, done, rise, size Academic Science Words: solid, liquid Option 2: The /j/ and /g/ Sounds
The curriculum featured on Super Teacher Worksheets Unit B-14 focuses explicitly on the configurations of the soft and hard “g” sounds alongside the “j” sound.
Spelling Words: game, going, jacket, buggy, regular, gold, gym, danger, just, huge, page, bagel Option 3: Vowel Teams (Long “o”)
Many literacy paths utilize List 14 to teach vowel combinations that produce the long “o” sound, such as “oa” and “ow”.
Spelling Words: own, loan, most, goat, soap, flow, float, loaf, both, throw, know, coach ✏️ Engaging Spelling Activities
To help second graders retain these spelling patterns, it is highly recommended to combine traditional writing worksheets with multi-sensory activities. Printable & Worksheet Practice

going) and have the child sort them back into the correct order.
Write it Twice: Practice neat handwriting by having the student write each word two times using a standard Home Spelling Words Worksheet.
Fill-in-the-Blanks: Create a simple short story with missing words, prompting the child to choose the correct spelling word to finish the sentence. Active & Multi-Sensory Games

Jumping Spelling: Have the student jump or do jumping jacks for every letter they recite while spelling a word out loud.
Color Coding: Write out the words using one color for the consonants and a different bright color for the targeted vowel teams or phonics patterns.
If you are practicing for a specific test, let me know which group of words matches your child’s assignment, or tell me if you are following a specific curriculum like Abeka or Evan-Moor so I can narrow down the exact list! 2nd Grade Spelling Unit B-14 – Super Teacher Worksheets
