oi and oy in coin and boy, ou and ow in house and cow
Make a diphthong worksheet. A diphthong is a vowel sound that slides as you say it: oi in coin and oy in boy make one sound, and ou in house and ow in cow make another. Your child circles the letter pair in each word, writes each word under its pair, or colors the words by sound.
Your worksheet:
oi and oy say the same sound, and so do ou and ow. oi and ou usually come in the middle of a word (coin, house); oy and ow often come at the end (boy, cow).
ow also spells the sound in snow. These pages only use ow as in cow, so every word has one right answer.
After short vowels, words with a silent e and the vowel teams ai, ee and oa.
