What is a vowel pair?

  1. A consonant followed by a vowel

  2. Two adjacent vowels that create a sound

  3. A combination of two syllables

  4. Two vowels separated by a consonant

The correct answer is: Two adjacent vowels that create a sound

A vowel pair refers to two adjacent vowels that create a specific sound together, which is crucial in phonics and reading instruction. This concept is integral to understanding how vowel combinations function within words. For instance, in words like "team" or "boat," the pairs of vowels work together to produce a blended sound that is often different from the individual sounds of each vowel. Recognizing and teaching vowel pairs helps students improve their decoding and pronunciation skills, contributing to their overall literacy development.
