Long Vowel Teams — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. feet
2. tree
3. eat
4. seat
5. meat
6. leaf
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. I walk on two feet.
Feet uses the ee team. Two e's together spell one long e sound, like the name of the letter E.
2. A bird built a nest in the tree.
Tree ends with the ee team. Both e's work together to say long e, and no other vowel is needed.
3. It is time to eat breakfast.
Eat begins with the ea team. The e is the talker saying long e, while the a stays silent.
4. A green leaf fell from the tree.
Leaf has the ea team. The e sings its long name and the a stands quietly beside it.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word 'tree' has the vowel team ee.
True False
Tree is spelled t-r-e-e. The two e's form an ee team that spells long e.
2. The word 'eat' has the vowel team ea.
True False
Eat begins with e-a. Ea is a vowel team where the e says long e and the a is silent.
3. The word 'red' has a long vowel team.

Red has only one vowel, e, making a short e sound. A vowel team needs two vowels together.
