Common questions
What is a vowel team?
A vowel team is two or more letters that work together to spell a vowel sound — like ee in tree or oa in boat. English has many, which is why explicit teaching matters.
What's the difference between a vowel team and a diphthong?
A diphthong is a vowel sound that glides from one position to another within a syllable, like oi in coin or ow in cow. Diphthongs are included in this set.
