This is also called a vowel digraph since both vowels make the same sound.<\/p>\n<p>Some vowel team words are words like rain, mail, fruit, and seed.<\/p>\n<p>The common vowel teams are: ai, ay, ea, ee, ie, oa, oe, ue, and ui.<\/p>\n<p>Now, these are some of the most common vowel teams that work together to make one sound.<\/p>\n<h2>Vowel Team Ladders Printables<\/h2>\n<p>The Vowel Team Ladders give you the two vowels together and let you make the vowel team words<\/p>\n<p>You can always print and use what you need with these ladders. It makes it easy to set up a center when you know the vowel teams you are going to be learning.<\/p>\n<p>Each page has two vowel team word ladders on them. You have five lines of the letters to work on building beginning and ending words.<\/p>\n<p>These are great for kids in second grade (ages 7 to 8) and third grade (ages 8 to 9) who are learning vowel time words.<\/p>\n<h2>Things to use with the Vowel Team Ladders Printable<\/h2>\n<p><em>We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity.
