*A note about this resource: I have included “y” with ie and igh even though it isn’t *technically* a vowel team since it is a single letter. But, students need to understand that words do not typically end in “i”, therefore “y” as a vowel for long i is a necessary lesson.

FAQs

Q: How long does it take to teach each vowel team?

A: Plan to allow for at least a week of instruction for each vowel team. After introducing and teaching each one, I would plan a review week for all 5. Obviously, this could be shorter or longer based on your students' progress. Utilizing the exit tickets and quizzes included in this pack will help determine if you need to review/reteach.

Q: My district uses a phonics program. Can this be used along with it?

A: Absolutely! These resources are a perfect supplement to any explicit phonics program. Personally, I've used them with Fundations. They are great for centers, independent work or small group work because they embed the skills into different activities--sorting, reading, writing.

Q: What grade levels will this work with?

A: Vowel teams are typically introduced towards the end of 1st grade (could be earlier for advanced readers), focused on again in 2nd grade and reviewed in 3rd grade. These resources are perfect for 1st-3rd!
