vowel patterns
Vowel teams are pairs of vowels that work together to make a single sound in a word. Common examples include “ai” in rain, “ea” in team, and “oa” in boat. Understanding vowel teams helps students improve reading fluency, spelling, and pronunciation. Teaching vowel teams involves recognizing patterns, practicing with word lists, and applying them in reading and writing exercises.
