Vowel Teams Pack (Free PDF)
4 pages (ai, ee, oa, ay) — read the word, circle where the vowel team sits, and complete a sentence frame.
Four vowel-team sheets that ask a child to notice where the team sits in a word — a clue that later helps them choose between ai and ay, or oa and ow, when spelling.
What’s inside
- An instructions page.
- Sheets for ai, ee, oa and ay: each word (rain, tail, mail; tree, feet, seed…) with MIDDLE and END to circle.
- A sentence frame on each sheet to use one of the words.
Every word in this PDF (23)
Handy for checking the list fits your child before printing, or for making your own games.

How to use it
- Read each word and underline the vowel team.

- After the ai and ay sheets, ask: "What do you notice?" (ai in the middle, ay at the end).
- Finish each sheet by writing one sentence in the frame.
