Vowel Clusters
Single Vowels
Vowel clusters are made up of two or three vowel letters that frequently appear together.
Long Vowels
'Y' as a vowel
Vowels appear in Clusters
Consonants remain peaceful
- The letter y may function as a single consonant or a single vowel.
- Y functions as a vowel when it appears at the end of a word with more than one syllable, such as sandy, baby. In this case, y often represents the sound of the letter e.
- Y also functions as a vowel when it appears at the end of a word with only one syllable. In this case, y usually represents the long sound for the letter Y, such as try, my, or cry.
A Vowel Digraph is two vowels that appear together and represent a single phoneme. Two vowels that make one sound.
Di graph (two written)
A long vowel sound is identical to the vowel names of the traditional vowel letters: a, e, i, o, and u.
Long vowel sounds occur most frequently in two positions:
(1) when a vowel occurs at the end of a word or syllable.
(2) when a vowel is followed by a consonant and the letter ‘e’ at the end of a word.
When two vowels go walking the first one does the talking

Diphthongs
What is a diphthong?
R - controlled Vowels
Keywords for identifying r-controlled
vowel sounds are as follows:
A diphthong is a one vowel sound formed by the combination of two vowel sounds. It begins with one vowel and moves toward the other vowel that is next to it such as words that include "oi", "oy", "ou", "ow".
- Each of the 5 vowel words also represent a short vowel sound. "a,e,i,o,u"
- A short vowel does not necessarily mean that its a short word. Although words with only three letters are the easiest to make the short vowel sound out of.
