Lesson Script

Introduction (3 minutes)

Teacher:
"Good morning, everyone! Today we are going to explore something really interesting: vowel teams. Vowel teams are pairs of vowels that work together to make a single sound. Can anyone give me an example of a vowel team?"

Students may respond with examples like "ea" in "bread" or "ai" in "rain."

Teacher:
"Great examples! Today, we will focus on how these vowel teams help us read and write better. Let’s dive into our lesson!"

---

Direct Instruction (5 minutes)

Teacher:
"First, let's look at some common vowel team combinations:

• 'ai' as in 'rain'
• 'ee' as in 'see'
• 'oa' as in 'boat'
• 'ou' as in 'cloud'

I will write some words on the board. As I write them, pay attention to the vowel teams:

1. Rain
2. See
3. Boat
4. Cloud

Now, can anyone tell me the sound that each vowel team makes?"

Encourage students to answer and correct as necessary.

---

Guided Practice (4 minutes)

Teacher:
"Now we’re going to practice together. I will show you some word cards with vowel team words on them. As a class, we will read each word and identify the vowel team. Let’s start with the first word."

Hold up a word card, such as "team."
"Who can read this word?"

Allow a student to read it.
"Excellent! Now, can anyone tell me what vowel team is in 'team'?"

Discuss answers and make sure students identify the 'ea' vowel team correctly.

Teacher:
"Let’s do a few more together! Remember to look out for those vowel team pairs!"

---

Independent Practice (3 minutes)

Teacher:
"Now it’s your turn! I have a handout with a list of vowel teams. I want you to create five new words using different vowel teams. Take a minute to write them down."

Student work time.
"Remember: the same vowel teams can make different sounds in different words. Be creative!"

---

Conclusion & Recap (1 minute)

Teacher:
"Alright! Who wants to share a word they came up with? Let’s recognize the vowel teams in each one."

Allow students to share their new words.
"Awesome job today! Vowel teams are a powerful tool in our reading and writing. Next time, we will learn how to use these skills in sentences. Great work, everyone!"

---

Assessment

• Monitor student participation during the guided practice.
• Collect handouts at the end of the lesson to assess understanding of vowel teams through the words students created.

---

Follow-up

In the next lesson, students will use their knowledge of vowel teams to work on reading fluency through vowel team stories.
