A vowel team is two or more letters that work together to make one vowel sound, such as ai in rain, ee in tree, oa in boat and igh in night. Second graders meet them in reading first, and spelling them is the harder half, because the same sound can be written more than one way: rain or rane, boat or bote. This worksheet shows each word in letter boxes with its vowel team missing, and a short clue about what the word means.
Your child works out which word it is and writes the missing letters in the empty boxes. There are no choices to pick from, so every answer is from memory. Ask your child to say the word slowly, listen for the long vowel sound, and think which vowel team usually spells it.
Common Core standard: L.2.2.D
The clue is water falling from clouds, and the boxes show r, two empty boxes and n. The word is rain, so the empty boxes get a and i.
