What this skill is
Vowel teams: ee (/ee/, as in feet), ea (/ee/, as in leaf). English usually has several spellings for one vowel sound, and position within the word often decides which one is used.
Three ways to teach it at home
- Read the team as a unit, never as two letters.
- Sort words by which spelling of the sound they use. Sorting is where the pattern becomes visible.
- For teams with two sounds, teach flexing: try one, try the other, keep the one that is a real word.
