Language Lab: Understanding Vowel Digraphs

Self-Study Explanation: What are Vowel Digraphs?
You know that vowels are the letters A, E, I, O, U (and sometimes Y). Usually, each vowel makes its own sound. But sometimes, two (or even three!) vowel letters stand together and work as a team to make just one single vowel sound. This special team of vowel letters is called a vowel digraph.
Think of it like this:
Single vowel: In “cat,” the ‘a’ makes one sound. In “bed,” the ‘e’ makes one sound.
Vowel Digraph:
In “moon,” the ‘oo’ works together to make one long ‘oo’ sound, as in /moo/.
In “boat,” the ‘oa’ works together to make one long ‘o’ sound, as in /boh-t/.
In “rain,” the ‘ai’ works together to make one long ‘a’ sound, as in /rayn/.
The key is that even though you see two vowels, you only hear one distinct vowel sound. This helps us read and pronounce words correctly!
⁠
A. Find some examples of vowel digraphs in the poem ‘Great, Wide, Beautiful, Wonderful World’.
ea in Great (long ‘a’ sound)
ea in breast (short ‘e’ sound)
ee in tree (long ‘e’ sound)
ea in wheat-fields (long ‘e’ sound)
ow in flow (long ‘o’ sound)
ai in said (short ‘e’ sound)
ay in prayers (long ‘a’ sound)
ee in seemed (long ‘e’ sound)
ea in Earth (er sound)
ou in though (long ‘o’ sound)
⁠
B. Read these words. Now, pick out words that have the same sounds from box A and box B and write them down together.
Box A: teach, room, search, flair, free, day ​Box B: speech, railway, may, breakage, book, gleam
Words with the long ‘e’ sound /iː/:
teach (from Box A)
free (from Box A)
speech (from Box B)
gleam (from Box B)
Words with the long ‘a’ sound /eɪ/:
day (from Box A)
railway (from Box B)
may (from Box B)
breakage (from Box B, specifically the ‘ea’ sound in ‘break’)
