Identify Split Digraphs

These letters are called vowels.

Listen to the sounds these vowels make:

If you put two together to make a sound, it is called a digraph.

Listen to the sounds.

ee
ie
ue
oe
ae

When you put another letter in the middle of the digraph, it splits the letters up in a word.

The digraph still makes the same sound, but it is called a split digraph:

ee becomes e_e in even
ie becomes i_e in white
ue becomes u_e in June
oe becomes o_e in alone
ae becomes a_e in came

Now we can use these split digraph sounds and spellings in this activity.

There are no sound buttons in the rest of the activity - you will have to work out the words using the spellings and the pictures!
