1 Meet the Vowel Teams
๐ซ When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking! Read each word and
circle the vowel team.
Rule: In a vowel team, two vowels are
next to each other. The first vowel says its name (long sound), and the second vowel is silent.
Example: rain โ the ai team makes
the long A sound
