Long Vowel Teams Phonics Picture Cards {FREE} - This Reading Mama

Learning about vowel teams is a fantastic way to help kids understand phonics and spelling patterns. Instead of teaching unreliable rules such as, “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking,” I prefer to teach young readers/spellers phonics generalizations.

Instead of teaching blanket rules, that are often broken, I teach that when you see ai in a single syllable word, it’s typically going to make the long a sound. And it’s the same with all the other vowel digraphs (ee=long e, oa=long o, etc.).

Now, I know there are exceptions to those generalizations, but they are FAR less than the exceptions you find with all the rules.

 

 

Today, I’m sharing some picture phonics cards for 6 different long vowel digraphs (or teams). This is a free sample from my more comprehensive Vowel Teams Pack.Β It includes more long vowel pairs as well as other ones, such as diphthongs. The free sample download link can be found at the END of this post.

 

Long Vowel Teams – Picture Phonics Cards

The vowel teams included in this sampler pack are ai, ay, ee, ea, oa, and oo {long u}. They are included in two sizes: whole page posters, and 1/2 page posters.

On each poster are common pictures that correspond with each long vowel team. The word is also included on the poster, with the pattern highlighted in a different color. Simply print on cardstock paper, laminate and hang on the wall or near a center. They can serve as great visuals for kids who are struggling to learn their vowel teams.
