Welcome to ABCville! 🏘️ Today, letters Y and W are joining the vowels to create some very noisy new sounds. In this fun phonics story, students will learn how diphthongs are made when our mouths "slide" from one sound to another.
We’ll learn the "Ow!" and "Oy!" sounds and practice picking the right words to match the pictures.
Inside this lesson you will:
📌 See how Y and W team up with the vowels
📌 Understand how diphthongs like /ow/ and /oy/ are formed
📌 Master the difference between OI, OY, OU, and OW
📌 Practice reading words like boy, shout, crown, and point
This lesson is perfect for early readers building Phonics and Decoding Skills.
