ΟΙ AND ΟΥ - PHONIC LESSONS

 ΟΙ AND ΟΥ 

 A ship, a ship, ahoy! ahoy! 
A sailor man, a sailor boy; 
Some oysters taken from the sea, 
And served with salt to you and me!  

1.In what words in the rhyme do we find the oy sound? 

Bound : Ahoy, boy, oyster.

2.These diphthongs (a union of two vowels) may also be printed on flash cards. Write as many words as you can that rhyme with: oil, boil, coil, roil, soil, toil.

 3.In these words, written by the teacher on cards or on the blackboard, underline oi and oy : Coy, joy, coin, joyful, loin, boyish, groin, noise, oise, enjoy.

The teacher will write this story on the blackboard, or on a large piece of paper or oak tag, and let the children underline all the oi and oy diphthongs.
