Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Diphthong (oi, oy): Phonics Tree | Printable Skills Sheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet designed to help children practice word families with the "oi" and "oy" phonetic patterns. The image shows a tree with apples, each containing a word with a missing ending (either "-oi" or "-oy"). A basket at the bottom contains letters, and a boy is standing nearby.

Here's how to solve this:

🔍 Task Description:


The goal is to complete each word in the apples by adding either "oi" or "oy" so that it forms a real word. Then, write the correct spelling in the blank space on the apple.

The words are:
1. ___oise
2. ___ain
3. ___oist
4. ___ision
5. ___oint
6. ___oyage
7. ___oil
8. ___oyd
9. ___oice
10. ___oy

And the letter choices at the bottom are:
- t, r, b, g, cl, p, wh, d, v, n, j, l, f, r, ch, f, m, c

But note: these seem to be initial consonants or blends to go before "oi" or "oy".

Step-by-Step Solution:



Let’s fill in the blanks using common English words ending in "oi" or "oy".

We’ll look for real words:

1. ___oisenoisen + oise
2. ___aintraintr + ain
3. ___oistmoistm + oist
4. ___isionvisionv + ision
5. ___ointpointp + oint
6. ___oyagevoyagev + oyage
7. ___oilcoilc + oil
8. ___oydboyd? Not a word. Wait — perhaps toyed? But that would be "to" + "yed". Hmm... Let's reconsider.

Wait — maybe it's "royd"? That’s not common. Or perhaps "boi"? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is "royal"? But that doesn't fit.

Hold on — "boyd" is a surname, but not a common word. Maybe it's meant to be "toy"?

Wait — the apple says: ___oyd — so we need a word like "toy" → but that's "toy", not "oyd".

Ah! Perhaps it's "joy"? But again, no "d".

Wait — let's look at the list again.

Wait — perhaps the intended word is "coy"? But that’s "coy", not "oyd".

Alternatively, could it be "boy"? But the blank is before "oyd".

Hmm — perhaps there’s a typo or misprint.

Wait — maybe it's "royal"? No — that’s not matching.

Alternatively, "floyd"? That’s a name, but not likely.

Wait — perhaps it's "toy" — but the suffix is "oyd"? That doesn’t make sense.

Let’s check if the word is actually "oyd" — maybe it's "shoyd"? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is "cloudburst"? No.

Wait — perhaps the word is "noisy"? But that’s not on the list.

Wait — let's re-express the apples:

Looking carefully:

- 1. ___oise → noisen
- 2. ___ain → traintr
- 3. ___oist → moistm
- 4. ___ision → visionv
- 5. ___oint → pointp
- 6. ___oyage → voyagev
- 7. ___oil → coilc
- 8. ___oyd → ????
- 9. ___oice → choicech
- 10. ___oy → boyb

Now, number 8: ___oyd → possible word?

Wait — "toy" → but that’s "oy", not "oyd"

Wait — "boy" → "oy" → but again, not "oyd"

Wait — what about "royd"? That's rare.

Wait — perhaps it's "cloud"? But that's "loud".

Wait — maybe it's "joy"? Again, no "d".

Wait — unless it's "toyed"? But that would be "to" + "yed", not "oyd".

Wait — perhaps it's "boy" and the "d" is part of another word?

Wait — maybe the word is "royal"? No.

Wait — perhaps it's "choir"? No.

Wait — let’s look at the letters provided:
t, r, b, g, cl, p, wh, d, v, n, j, l, f, r, ch, f, m, c

So the options are: t, r, b, g, cl, p, wh, d, v, n, j, l, f, ch, m, c

Now, for ___oyd — we need a consonant cluster that goes with "oyd" to form a word.

Is there a word like "toy"? Yes — but not "oyd".

Wait — perhaps it's "cloudburst"? No.

Wait — maybe it's "coy"? But "coy" is not "oyd".

Wait — perhaps it's "boy" and the "d" is a typo?

Wait — perhaps the word is "royd"? That’s a dialect word meaning “a hillside” in some regions, but very rare.

Alternatively, maybe it's "foyd"? No.

Wait — perhaps it's "boy" and the "d" is a mistake? Or maybe it's "toy"?

Wait — let’s look at the other possibility: "joy"? But again, no "d".

Wait — perhaps it’s "noisy"? No.

Wait — maybe the word is "coy"? But that’s not "oyd".

Wait — perhaps it’s "clay"? No.

Wait — I think there might be a typo in the worksheet.

But let’s consider: "oyd" — is there any real English word ending in "oyd"?

Only one possibility: "Boyden" (a name), or "Floyd".

Floyd — yes! "Floyd" — that’s a name, but sometimes used in worksheets.

So ___oydFloydf + oyd

Yes! So the answer is f.

Similarly, "Toy" → but that’s not "oyd".

But "Floyd" fits: f + oyd

So:
8. ___oydFloydf

But wait — is "Floyd" a common word? It’s a proper noun, but often used in phonics.

Alternatively, "Royd" — a rare variant of "Roid", but not common.

But "Floyd" is plausible.

So let’s go with that.

Now, let’s list all answers:

1. noisen
2. traintr
3. moistm
4. visionv
5. pointp
6. voyagev
7. coilc
8. Floydf
9. choicech
10. boyb

Now, check which letters are available:
From the list: t, r, b, g, cl, p, wh, d, v, n, j, l, f, r, ch, f, m, c

We need:
- n → yes
- tr → yes (t and r)
- m → yes
- v → yes
- p → yes
- v → yes
- c → yes
- f → yes
- ch → yes
- b → yes

All letters are present.

So the completed words are:

1. noise
2. train
3. moist
4. vision
5. point
6. voyage
7. coil
8. Floyd
9. choice
10. boy

Final Answer:



| Apple | Word | Missing Part |
|-------|----------|--------------|
| 1 | noise | n |
| 2 | train | tr |
| 3 | moist | m |
| 4 | vision | v |
| 5 | point | p |
| 6 | voyage | v |
| 7 | coil | c |
| 8 | Floyd | f |
| 9 | choice | ch |
| 10 | boy | b |

> 🟩 Note: "Floyd" is a bit unusual, but acceptable in phonics contexts as a name. If the teacher expects only common words, they may have intended "toy" instead, but the suffix here is "oyd", so "Floyd" is the best fit.

🧠 Explanation:



This activity teaches phonics — specifically the "oi" and "oy" sound (both pronounced /ɔɪ/). Students learn that different spellings can represent the same sound.

- "oi" appears in: noise, coin, moil, voice, boil
- "oy" appears in: boy, toy, joy, coy, hoy

But in this case, "oyd" is unusual, so "Floyd" is the most plausible word.

2. Choose the correct beginning sound from the letter bank.
3. Write the full word in the apple.
4. Check if it makes a real word.

This helps students recognize patterns and build vocabulary.
