"Blue" doesn't seem to fit because it's not a long u sound (as the u in uniform).
Vowel digraphs: (Broken Link Removed)
Looks good.
I think blue does have a long vowel sound. Like the words use and uniform.
I will check out the websites after school today. Are you sure Blue is vowel digraph?
If that u were long, it would sound like "you" -- uniform, use.
I'm not sure about blue at all, no.
Thank you. I have all the websites you listed in my favorites file so I can check them after school today. Thanks so much.
Blue is listed as a vowel phoneme in that second link I gave you.
But then look at this:

So I guess "blue" works after all!!
You're very welcome.
Sure! To check if the words listed belong to vowel pairs or vowel digraphs, we need to understand the difference between the two.
Vowel Pairs: Vowel pairs refer to two vowels that appear side by side in a word and make a single sound. Some common examples of vowel pairs include "ea" in "beat" or "ai" in "rain".
Let's check the words provided for vowel pairs:
1. freezing - Vowel Pair ("ee")
2. rain - Vowel Pair ("ai")
3. sleet - Vowel Pair ("ee")
4. beat - Vowel Pair ("ea")
5. gray - No Vowel Pair
6. streets - Vowel Pair ("ee")
7. blue - Vowel Pair ("ue")
8. play - Vowel Pair ("ay")
9. Kay - Vowel Pair ("ay")
10. raisin - Vowel Pair ("ai")
11. feel - Vowel Pair ("ee")
12. easy - No Vowel Pair
Vowel Digraphs: Vowel digraphs are two vowels that appear together in a word, but each vowel retains its own sound. For example, in the word "said", the "ai" is a vowel digraph.
Now, let's check the words provided for vowel digraphs:
1. looked - Vowel Digraph ("oo")
2. said - Vowel Digraph ("ai")
3. caught - Vowel Digraph ("au")
4. headline - Vowel Digraph ("ea")
5. said - Vowel Digraph ("ai")
6. school - No Vowel Digraph
7. because - No Vowel Digraph
8. heavy - Vowel Digraph ("ea")
9. weather - No Vowel Digraph
10. good - No Vowel Digraph
11. sleigh - Vowel Digraph ("ei")
12. said - Vowel Digraph ("ai")
13. could - Vowel Digraph ("ou")
14. neighbor - Vowel Digraph ("ei")
15. bread - No Vowel Digraph
16. instead - No Vowel Digraph
So, out of the provided words, here's the breakdown:
Vowel Pairs: freezing, rain, sleet, beat, streets, blue, play, Kay, raisin, feel, easy.
Vowel Digraphs: looked, said, caught, headline, said, heavy, sleigh, said, could, neighbor.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
