Diphthongs Games for 2nd Grade

Say Hello to Diphthong Words

A diphthong is a Greek word meaning 'having two sounds.' Mostly, it's a vowel sound and can be categorized as a long vowel sound or short vowel sound.

For example, 'oil' is a very simple English word having two vowels, o and i. And these two together create the sound for the word oil.

One of the easiest ways to recognize a diphthong is to listen to a word closely. If you feel that the vowel's sound is different, you have landed yourself with a diphthong.
