That narrows down the field!

Hi [1], say [2] boy [3], now [4] here's [5] where [6] to go [7] if your* pronunciation is poor [8]: An illustrated note on diphthongs ;-)

PS * In Edinburgh, this would be [8]
PPS mara's is much better

Thanks. It all looks very pretty, but it needs to be handled with care. http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/phonics/dipthong-sentences.pdf, for example, deals with digraphs (which it calls 'diphthongs'): 'AU is the diphthong in "haul"'??? So what's the diphthong in 'howl?

This resource is for teaching very young native speakers how to spell.

Thanks for the observation, Bob. :up: Maybe wethba should read this article to avoid confusion.

Thanks Mara.

(I just know how tempting it is for a harassed teacher to see a well-produced resource and say 'Yes, I'll use that' - only to be met with some embarrassing questions in the classroom!)
