Vowel Teams
ee/ea, ai/ay
When two vowels together make one sound in a word, it is called a vowel team. The sound of these two letters is generally the sound of the first vowel in the team.
Ex: teeth, reach, bait, May
Irregular Plural Nouns
A noun becomes plural by changing its spelling in ways other than adding an “s” or “es” to the end of the word. We will learn how to form frequently occurring irregular plural nouns and use them in our writing.
