Fun Hands-On Vowel Team Ladders
Word ladders are one of my favorite ways for kids to learn. You get to build the word and have a fun time doing it.
My youngest loves when we have these to build and make words with. They provide a great hands-on learning for them.
Today I have the free Vowel Team Ladders for kids that are working on them!
We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission.
The Vowel Team Ladder Printables are a great addition to the vowel team printables on the site.
What is a Vowel Team?
Vowel teams are two vowels that work to make one sound.
These are words like rain, mail, fruit, and seed.
The common vowel teams are: ai, ay, ea, ee, ei, oa, oe, ue, and ui.
The Vowel Team Ladders give you the vowel and let you make the words.
You can always print and use what you need with these ladders. It makes it easy to set up a center when you know the vowel teams you are going to be working on.
Each page has two vowel teams on them. This makes them the perfect size to use with letter tiles or lacing letters.

Ways to use the Vowel Team Ladder Printables
Setting up a Vowel Team Learning Center
You can give kids the vowel team wall cards, lacing letters and the vowel team they are working on or reviewing.
The wall cards provide them with examples of words that they could build. I give them just one of the cards at a time.
Making Vowel Team Words
Once they get going they have tons of fun building the vowel team words. The vowel team ladders allow them to mix up the letter and see what makes a real word vs a made-up word.
You can see how just adding the consonants at the beginning and ending helps them build words that they can sound out.
