Exploring the AI Vowel Team in Phonics

This video tutorial introduces the AI vowel team, explaining how two vowels work together to produce a single sound, typically the long sound of the first vowel while the second is silent. The tutorial provides examples like 'rainbow' and 'pale' to illustrate this concept. It includes reading and spelling exercises to reinforce learning, encouraging students to practice both skills independently. The video concludes with a reminder to keep practicing words with the AI vowel team.
