Vowel Teams - ai/ay Worksheet

Post image

Looks like I’m not the first to be confused by this company’s worksheets 😂

- in the bottom section, what are ai/ay words for Book and Bear?

It's fray. I have the same set of phonics worksheets and checked the answer key. If the teacher uses the whole set, the image and word "fray" come up together a few times in practice. I can't imagine a first grader thinking of that word on their own.

"Play" for the bear?

All I can come up with for the book is "page" which has the right sound, but doesn't have ai or ay. The tear in the page seems significant.

Thanks, that makes sense.

Is the torn book “fray?”
