Learn MoreA diphthong is a combination of two letters, which are usually (but not always!) both vowels, that produces a complex vowel sound. In this worksheet, your child will get familiar with the diphthong "AW" as he fills in the blank with the words like lawn, yawn and hawk. Then he'll do a fun word search featuring words with that same sound.
