What is a Vowel Team?
A vowel team is a spelling pattern that uses two or more letters to represent a single vowel sound.
Often, the vowel sound for a vowel team is long (like the long e in “neat”), but sometimes vowels work together to make other sounds (like the short e in “bread”).
Long a vowel teams include: ai, ay, eigh, ey (examples: paid, say, neigh, they)
I typically only teach ai and ay in 1st and 2nd grade, but I point out eigh or ey when they appear in the context of a text or word we’re studying.
Long e vowel teams include: ea, ee, ey, ie, ei (examples: seat, feet, key, thief, receive)
I typically only teach ea, ee, and ie in 1st and 2nd grade.
Long i vowel teams include: ie, igh (examples: pie, right).
Long o vowel teams include: oe, oa, ow (examples: toe, boat, blow)
Long u vowel teams include: ue, eu, ew (examples: argue, feud, pew)
One tricky thing about long u is that the sound can be the name of the letter (as in the word “few”) OR the /oo/ sound (as in the word “tube”).
Sometimes vowel teams are also called “vowel digraphs.” I prefer the term “vowel team” because digraph = 2 letters, and some vowel teams (like igh) include more than one letter.
