These letters are called vowels.
Listen to the sounds these vowels make:
a | e | i | o | u |
If you put two together to make a sound, it is called a digraph.
Listen to the sounds.
ee | |
ie | |
ue | |
oe | |
ae |
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 we can use these split digraph sounds and spellings in the activity!
