Diphthongs can be a challenge for young readers! In this 5 week class, we practice integrating diphthongs [aw, au, ew, oo, oi, oy, ou, ow] into our reading, spelling and writing. Learners connect as we integrate phonics into games, matchup activities, reading, and spelling. We use a fun, interactive slideshow in which learners participate verbally and in writing to share their thinking. Come join us for integral phonics learning in a welcoming atmosphere!
