<\/div>\nWhat is a Vowel Team Word?<\/h2>\n
Vowel teams are two vowels that work together to produce a single sound. This is also known as a vowel digraph, as both vowels produce the same sound.<\/p>\n
Some vowel team words include rain, mail, fruit, and seed.<\/p>\n
The common vowel teams are: ai, ay, ea, ee, ie, oa, oe, ue, and ui.<\/p>\n
Now, these are some of the most common vowel teams that work together to make one sound. <\/p>\n
The sound that vowel team words make is a long vowel sound. You will often teach the sounds that are similar at the same time. <\/p>\n
As I said before these are normally taught in second grade or later because of how complicated they are. And there is no wrong or right way to teach them.<\/p>\n
