Vowel Digraphs Worksheets and Teaching Resources
Unit 1: Digraphs AI, EA, EE , OA, and OO (as in moon)
Vowel digraphs are combination of vowels that combine to make a single vowel sound like the OA in boat, the AI in rain, the EE in feet, the EA in sea, and the OO in moon. (The digraphs AW, EW, OW, OU, and OO as in wood are covered in vowel digraphs unit 2).
I usually teach vowel digraphs after teaching long vowel bossy E patterns, but it is not essential to follow this order. However, it is probably best if kids have a good grasp of CVC words and consonant digraphs before going onto vowel digraphs.
