This Grade 2 sheet introduces vowel teams ai, ea, and oa alongside their short-vowel cousins. Students compare pairs such as ran and rain, bot and boat, bean and Ben. Nine fill activities plus a matching task help learners see that vowel teams usually make the first vowel say its long name. It is the first step toward reading and spelling longer words with two vowels in a row.
