Why get the bundle
- The bundle includes each diphthong in several forms. Use it with the single-pair products to go deeper.
The problem
Oink, loud, jaw, boy: six vowel pairs that glide
Diphthongs, such as oi, oy, ou, ow, au and aw, glide from one sound to another. Children must know which pair they have.
Six spellings, three sounds
Oi and oy say /oi/. Ou and ow say /ow/. Au and aw say /aw/. Children must remember which spelling goes where.
Reading each letter
The habit of reading letter by letter breaks diphthongs. 'Boy' becomes 'bo-y'.
Position clues
Oy and aw end words, and oi and au sit inside. Children can use these clues to choose.
Words with all six diphthongs are mixed. Children check the vowel pair and read it as one gliding sound.

Questions
Before you buy.
When should we use this?
After children have met each pair on its own. It checks if they can tell them apart.
Are there other diphthongs?
These are the common ones. Others are less regular, so they're left for later.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 14 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $5. No form, no questions.
