DIPHTHONGS (SUNG TO THE TRADITIONAL MELODY OF MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN!)

A diphthong is made up of two vowels,
Sounded so both vowels are heard,
Blended together as one sound
Now you have just learned a new word!


Aw aw
Aw's the diphthong in saw,
(Echo) I see! I saw!
Ew ew
Ew's the diphthong in dew,
(Echo) For you!


Ow ow
Ow's the diphthong in bow,
(Echo) Wow! Wow!
Ou ou
Ou is the diphthong in shout,
(Echo) Shout! Shout! (Echo) Hur-ray!
Oy oy
Oy's the diphthong in boys,
(Echo) Hold it down, Guys!
