Vowel Digraphs Unit - Year 2

A complete Year 2 English unit for teaching common vowel digraphs through editable lessons, colour games, print-friendly practice, assessment and answer pages.

Full Description

Help Year 2 students recognise, read and spell words with common vowel digraphs and vowel teams.

This complete English unit introduces the idea that two letters can work together to represent one vowel sound. Students explore common teams in the middle and at the end of words, blend vowel-team words, compare spelling choices, apply the patterns in sentences and locate them in a short reading passage.

The teaching sequence combines an editable native PowerPoint lesson, an editable ten-question quiz, a colour display and reference chart, two classroom games, eight print-friendly practice pages, matching red-answer editions, a two-part assessment and a five-level rubric. The varied sequence supports explicit teaching, guided practice, independent work, partner games, revision and assessment across approximately one school week.
