It's that time of year! We are knee-deep in vowel teams. If you saw my post from earlier in the week, you saw that I typically teach vowel teams in late January/early February. So far we have learned: ee/ea/y as e, ay/ai, ow/oa. Next week we will move on to ui/ew followed by igh/y as i.
We always begin each week brainstorming words for our 3-way sort. The kids come up with words that they hear "the sounds in." We do this together and then the kids use a matching recording sheet.
As the week progresses on, we practice our words with our dry erase boards and play games. I try not to do too many worksheets...I am all about a good game. I'm anxious to get all vowel teams introduced so we can play Vowel Team Jeopardy!
In addition to our daily practice/games, we also have a poem that matches one of the vowel teams we are learning each week.
Having daily practice and a routine always helps my kids become secure with long vowels and vowel teams. To see any of the activities shown above, check out the following:
