What are vowel blends?

Vowel blends, also known as vowel teams, are a pair of letters that make a single vowel sound.

Most of the time, the letters make a long vowel sound. There are some exceptions to this, such as the “ea” in bread working together to make a short e sound. All of the vowel teams in this clip card download make long vowel sounds.

Vowel teams include:

• ai as you see in sail, mail
• ea as you see in dream, team
• ee as you see in need, tree
• ey as you see in money, key
• ay as you see in stay, day
• oe as you see in toe, Joe
• ue as you see in glue, blue
• ie as you see in tie, pie
• oa as you see in boat, goat
• ui as you see in juice, fruit
