~8 min
Let's learn about 'ee' (long e), 'oa' (long o), and 'ui' (long u).
The 'ee' Vowel Team
The 'ee' team makes the long e sound.
Word: tree
sound 1t
sound 2r
sound 3ee
The letters 'ee' work together as a team to make the long 'e' sound, like in the words tree and sleep.
💡 When you see two e's together, they usually say their own name: e!
