You know the vowels are a, e, i, o, and u. Did you also know that y is always a vowel except when it’s the first letter of a word? (as in yellow and yard and yip) Vowel digraphs are pairs of vowels. When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. It says its name. The second vowel is silent. Some vowel digraphs make a new sound. Long ago, the letter w was actually two of the letter u. It was a double u. Now when w comes after a vowel, it forms a digraph. The letters blend to make a new sound. grain roast wheel toe meal honey mouse daughter screwdriver downstairs fawn Sweet Honey Vowel Digraphs Visit www.newpathlearning.com for Online Learning Resources. © Copyright NewPath Learning.
