Double vowels activities<br />
‘ai’ versus ‘ay’<br />
The long a sound can be made with the letters ai and ay. Explain to your pupils that ai usually comes in the<br />
middle of a word (such as rain) and ay usually comes at the end of a word (such as hay).<br />
‘ee’ versus ‘ea’<br />
Understanding when to use ee or ea <strong>for</strong> the long e sound is difficult,<br />
but it will get easier <strong>for</strong> the pupils the more opportunities they have<br />
to encounter these words. When reading stories that contain words<br />
with ee and ea, be sure to draw attention to them and review their<br />
use to represent the long e sound. Provide some practice with<br />
reading words containing ee and ea by having each pupil complete<br />

‘ie’ and ‘oe’<br />
Sometimes when two vowels are together at the end of a one-syllable word, a long sound can be heard.<br />
One-syllable words that end in ie make the long i sound, such as pie and lie. One-syllable words that end<br />
in oe make the long o sound, such as hoe and toe. As a group activity, ask your pupils to think of as many<br />
one-syllable words as possible that end in oe or ie. Determine whether the words end with long o or long i.<br />
See the list below.<br />
