Vowel Combinations or Vowel Teams Fun Activities and Free Sample

Why Vowel Combinations Are So Challenging

Vowel combinations—or vowel teams—such as ai, ea, oa, ou, and ee, can be confusing for many young readers. These sounds don’t always follow predictable rules, and students often struggle to remember which combination makes which sound. Without the right support, even bright learners can feel frustrated and lose confidence

That’s where Vowel Combinations Made Easy comes in! This engaging, Orton-Gillingham–aligned resource uses color, pattern recognition, and embedded memory strategies to make phonics instruction stick. Each page combines art and literacy, allowing students to see, hear, and experience the sounds they’re learning.

Through carefully designed activities like coloring, mazes, and searches, learners practice identifying and using vowel teams while strengthening visual discrimination and phonemic awareness. These multisensory exercises help them remember patterns long after the lesson ends—transforming reading frustration into confidence and success.
