First Grade Mini Literacy Pack: From Words to Stories (Vowel Teams oa, ow, igh)

Help your 1st grader read more vowel teams! Oa and ow both say "oh," like in boat and snow. Igh is three letters that make just one sound, "eye," like in light. Your scholar also learns a handy tip: oa usually lives in the middle of a word, and ow usually lives at the end.

What's inside (10 printable pages)
