Students will learn about the Long Vowel Digraph Team syllable type to help them predict the pronunciation of unfamiliar words.
Teacher Tips
Using visual and sound cues, compare and contrast closed and long vowel digraph team syllable types so students can understand the characteristics of each and expand their decoding to more syllable types. If your students are not familiar with the open and closed syllables, make sure to go over the lessons in Phase 3: Unit 1. Syllable Types & Syllable Division.
