Vowel Teams oo, ew, ue, ui, eu
Vowel teams are letter combinations that work together to form one sound.
Different vowel teams can make the same sound. The same vowel team can
make different sounds. Because a vowel team can have different sounds, you
need to learn how to pronounce each individual word.
Some words with the oo, ew, ue, ui, or eu vowel teams have the same vowel
sound as the word tool. Some have the same vowel sound as the word cue.
My TURN Read the first word. Then read the two words next to it. Circle the
word that has the vowel team with the same vowel sound as the first word.
1. hoop: feud sue
2. pew: statue suit
3. blue: chew rescue
4. cruise: cue true
My TURN Read each word. Underline the vowel team in each word. Circle
whether the vowel teams have the same sound or different sounds.
5. blew nephew same different
6. deuce neutral same different
7. argue true same different
8. suit bruise same different
