Vowel Team Tiles

Teaching phonics is of course an important part of learning to read. Systematically, we start with the alphabet and then move to CVC words. Next, we move onto CVCe words. There are digraphs too, but then the focus moves onto vowel teams. 

Vowel teams have been the focus of my phonics instruction lately. My student have learned all of the vowel team rules, but they need to continue to practice the rules that they have learned. 

I created a Vowel Team Tiles packet to help provide my students with the extra practice that they need. Vowel Team Tiles is a hands-on approach to learning that allows students to manipulate the letters and create the vowel team words. 

These pages can be printed and used as an independent practice page, but I like using activities more than once, so I print the pages and use them as a center activity. I do this by printing the pages on cardstock and place the writing half part of the page in a sheet protector. The other half, which is the part with the letters, is cut up and placed in a plastic bag. The letters are stored together with the writing page and then students use the letters to create the words and write them down.

The packet includes 9 practice pages which include the vowel teams "ai, ay, ee, ea, ie, igh, ow, oa, and ue."
