One tricky thing about long u is that the sound can be the name of the letter (as in the word “few”) OR the /oo/ sound (as in the word “tube”).

Long u vowel teams include: ue, eu, ew (examples: argue, feud, pew) Long o vowel teams include: oe, oa, ow (examples: toe, boat, blow) Long i vowel teams include: ie, igh (examples: pie, right). I typically only teach ea, ee, and ie in 1st and 2nd grade. Long e vowel teams include: ea, ee, ey, ie, ei (examples: seat, feet, key, thief, receive) I typically only teach ai and ay in 1st and 2nd grade, but I point out eigh or ey when they appear in the context of a text or word we’re studying. Long a vowel teams include: ai, ay, eigh, ey (examples: paid, say, neigh, they) In this post, we’re going to focus mostly on the long sounds – but I do also teach students about words where vowel teams do not make long vowel sounds. Often, the vowel sound for a vowel team is long (like the long e in “neat”), but sometimes vowels work together to make other sounds (like the short e in “bread”). A vowel team is a spelling pattern that uses two or more letters to represent a single vowel sound.
