Undeniably fun practice for diphthong pronunciation
This diphthong vowel song gives children with speech delays lots of practice with sequencing two vowel sounds together.
Diphthong vowels are formed when two different vowel sounds occur back to back. Some diphthong examples include: oy, ow, long i (because long i actually is a sequence of the sounds ah and ee together), and long a (eh and ee together). While there are many different ways to spell the different dipthong vowels within words, it’s more important to just think about what the actual vowel sounds are so that we can support kids who are delayed in speech.
This song also includes many functional diphthong words in the lyrics, like: ni-night, wake (up), shout, out, loud, now, down, shake, hey, hi, high five, bye, boy, and joy. Singing and dancing to this song will be the most fun you could have helping your child to learn how to pronounce diphthongs!
