Kavi Finds More Vowel Teams
"You already read ai in rain and ee in feet," says Kavi the owl. "Today we meet more teams: igh says the long /ī/ in light, oa says long /ō/ in boat, ay says long /ā/ in day, and oo says /ōō/ in moon. Two letters, one long sound — sound them as one team, then blend all the way through!"
