There are many different parts to learning to read. And vowel combinations are one way you work on these. There are two types of vowel combinations: vowel teams and diphthongs.<\/p>\n

I know that they can be tricky and not always fun to learn. Today’s free Winter Fox Vowel Team & Diphthong Matching<\/strong> is a great way to work on learning this or reviewing these types of words.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

I know that we love to have a change in how we are learning. I don’t always like to do the same thing over and over. So this is a fun change from just writing words.<\/p>\n

There are two sorting cards for each vowel type. The fox has the vowel combinations and the two paw prints have pictures that match the fox. I recommend laminating<\/a>\"\" the cards to help them last longer.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/div>\n

I also have recording sheets for this as well. You have one sheet for each type plus a fill-in option to use them together.<\/p>\n

How we used this printable<\/h2>\n

You can start by just matching the paw prints to the foxes. This is the most basic way to do it. I like to give them 4 to work with or two that have similar sounds to do. <\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After you have your matching you record your answer on the sheet. The sheet has the vowels listed to make it easy to see where to write the words.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can use the paw prints as a matching game. You can match the two paw prints that go together. It is fun and you don’t have to use the fox with this at all.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You can use just the cards and the worksheet. Give them 10 sets of cards and have them flip a card over and write in the vowel combination and the matching word. You could put the cards on a ring for them to flip through.<\/p>\n

\"Free<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you are looking for something more to use with these cards you can use the Vowel Team<\/a> and Diphthong<\/a> Coloring Pages. They come in trace the word and write the word options.<\/p>\n
