About this worksheet

Clue sentences with a word missing its vowel team.

What kids practice

Reading a vowel team is one step. Spelling it is harder, because many sounds have more than one spelling: long a can be ai or ay. A helpful pattern is where the sound is in the word. ai, oa, oi and ou usually come in the middle, while ay, ow, oy and aw usually come at the end.

Watch for

  • Using one letter for a team sound, like ran for rain or bot for boat.
  • Putting an end spelling in the middle, like rayn or coyn.
  • Spelling by sound only, like lite for light.

It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full spelling vowel teams guide for 2nd grade.
