CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A diphthong (/ˈdɪfɔːŋ, ˈdɪp-, -ɒŋ/ DIF-thawng, DIP-, -⁠thong; from Ancient Greek (díphthongos) ‘two sounds’, from (dís) ‘twice’, and (phthóngos) ‘sound’), also known as a gliding vowel, is a combination of two adjacent vowel sounds within the same syllable.

Detailed explanation-2: -Word List: coin, coy, Joy, noise, oil, ploy, point, spoil, soil, toy, boy, boil 2 min. are comprised of more than one syllable. These words contain vowel teams. Vowel teams are made up on more than 1 letter and represent a vowel sound.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two-Vowels Together: When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is silent. Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vowel teams or vowel pairs are two adjacent vowels found in the same syllable that create one vowel sound. Some syllables include more than one vowel. These are vowel teams (or digraphs) such as EI, OI, OU, EE, AI, EW, AY. The vowel teams only have one sound.

Detailed explanation-5: -When a syllable has 2 vowels together, the first vowel is usually long and the second is silent. Examples: “pain, eat, boat, res/cue, say, grow". NOTE: Diphthongs don’t follow this rule; In a diphthong, the vowels blend together to create a single new sound. The diphthongs are: “oi, oy, ou, ow, au, aw, oo” and many others.
