Reading tips and tricks

The Fraggle Rock reading group came across some tricky words in their book last week.  Miss Bolton was teaching them a rule, where if two vowels are next to each other the first vowel says its name and the second vowel is silent.

We looked at some different examples, like pain, meat, and each.  Then we watched a clip from Youtube called "Two vowels go walking".

Can you think of any other words that fit this rule?  Comment if you can!
