These letters are called vowels.
Listen to the sounds these vowels make:
| a | e | i | o | u |
If you put two vowels together to make a sound, it is called a digraph.
Listen to these digraphs.
| ai |
|
||
| ee |
|
||
| oo |
|
||
| oa |
|
||
| oi |
|
||
| ou |
|
or |
|
| ea |
|
or |
|
| ue |
|
||
| au |
|
||
| oe |
|
When you put another letter in the middle of the digraph, it splits the letters up in a word.
The digraph still makes the same sound, but it is called a split digraph.
| ee becomes e_e in even |
|
| ie becomes i_e in white |
|
| ue becomes u_e in June |
|
| oe becomes o_e in alone |
|
| ae becomes a_e in came |
|
Now let's use these sounds and spellings in this activity.
