The Startup Reading Introduction to Vowel Teams Workbook, Book 7, is designed as a Language Arts curriculum that provides reading strategies for a solid foundation in literacy. The objective is for students to learn and apply reading, comprehension, and spelling strategies to read higher-level passages.

In particular, this workbook guides students in developing the following key strategies:

1) Vowel Teams – Students will be vowel detectives to find the first vowel in a word, then look to see if that vowel is connected to other letters to make a new unique sound. Identifying a Vowel Team in a word is an essential skill for students to develop their knowledge of irregular vowel patterns and read more complex words.

2) Story analysis with exercises on vocabulary, read and reflect on the meaning, and writing.
