How the lesson starts: Read Vowel Teams

1. Coach Moxie's teams

   Meet Coach Moxie, a goat with a shiny whistle! Her players are letters. Two letters join up to make one sound. We call them vowel teams. Let's meet the teams!

2. Spot the team

   A team sits side by side inside a word. In snail, A and I stand together. In sheep, it's E and E. In goat, O and A, just like Coach Moxie!

3. Match the teams

   Coach Moxie has four teams and four words. Look for A I inside a word. Rain has it! E E is in feet. O A is in boat. O Y is in toy. Every team found a word!
