  • Vowel Teams and Diphthongs Skill Explainer

Homophone Flash Cards

When you introduce vowel teams to your students, you will want to draw attention to homophones, words that sound the same like main and mane. You’ll teach the meanings of words with vowel teams through the context of visuals with explicit instruction in homophone pairs. Many of these words are already part of students’ oral language, so this guidance will deepen their understanding of the words.
