This download includes a set of four posters that include the following diphthong vowel teams:
- ow/ou
- aw/ou
- oi/oy
- oo/ew/ue
How to Use Fluency Charts in the Classroom
This list of words can be used in several ways in the classroom, including the following:
- Model proper pronunciation – model the correct pronunciation of each diphthong and demonstrate how to read the words on the list. Pay attention to the gliding movement between the vowel sounds in the diphthongs.
- Guided practice – engage in guided practice as a class and read the words together. Encourage students to follow your lead, paying attention to the diphthong sounds.
- Partner or small group activities – divide the class into pairs or small groups. Have students take turns reading the sentences or phrases to each other, providing opportunities.
- Independent practise – allow students to practice individually. Provide them with a mirror and will enable them to practise the pronunciation of each of the words. Encourage them to focus on the mouth articulation of the diphthongs in each word.
