What to teach next
Vowel Team Pattern Teach
- The pattern
- Students reach for the wrong spelling of a long-vowel sound — "reson" for "reason", "beech" for "beach" — because the vowel team isn't mapped yet.
- Try this
- Vowel-team sort: put ea / ee / ai side by side, sort 12 words into team columns, then have the student spell each back. The sort does the work.
