Surprisingly, spelling long o words with vowel teams is quite simple.
you’ve got the option to see this in oats, coats, or coach.
But if the long o comes at the end of a syllable, you use /oe/.
But check out these words.
Joey Joe is the first syllable and y is the second syllable.
Since the /o/ sound is at the end of the first syllable, we use the /oe/.
Toenail Toe is the first syllable.

Therefore, we use the /oe/.
Our little ones cut out the /oe/ and /oa/ letters.
