Vowel teams are sounds that work together to form a long vowel sound although children are able to stretch out the sound to hear both letters.

These mazes will provide your children with practice with words containing long vowel pairs. The vowel teams included are: ai, ea, oa, ue, oi, ee, oe and ui.
