This Grade 1 worksheet introduces the long-a vowel teams ai and ay. First graders trace six team words including rain, pain, mail, day, play, and stay, then fill in four sentences to choose the right long-a word. Three true or false statements help children check whether a word contains the ai or ay team. Every answer explains why the a talks and the partner letter stays silent, building a solid first look at long vowel teams.
