This can be remembered by the following rhyme: When 2 vowels go out walking, the first one does the talking.
This means that when the 2 vowels are together the first vowel says its name. For example, in the “ai” team the long a sound is said.
Teaching students to recognize these common spelling patterns and the sounds they make will help them master key reading much faster.
