“Vowel Pairs” (“Type 6”) -- - This is the last syllable type in the sequence. Some of these may have been introduced as “special categories” earlier. Many of these follow patterns that are just fun to know. The vowl pair words are challenging — they have the most exceptions, and are the hardest words. Some notes: OY, OI OY at end of syllable (toy, employ, royal)OI in the middle of a syllable (oil, purloin, cloister)Very few exceptions to the spelling pattern with this combination Almost all words with this sound are spelled with OY or OI. That’s why it’s often taught first. OO Two common sounds ooze, scoot, toohood, woods a few exceptions: BLOOD and FLOOD (pronounced with “short u” rhyming with “mud,” BROOCH (often pronounced with “long o” to rhyme w/ “coach”)Local pronunciations will vary (“roof” can rhyme with “hoof” or “poof”). AU, AW has more exceptions (e.g. “bauble”) Causal and Casual easily confusedMany words where “au” is not pronounced as “aw”: words with –eau (Bureau, beautiful, plateau)gauge, gauche, haute, laugh, etc. Avoid saying “droor” for draw-er, “Loyer” for law-yer and “Soyer” for sawyer. Other notes: Usually ai in middle of syllable, ay at the end. A noun ending in “E” is probably spelled –ey (Monkey, turkey); adjectivs, “y” (silly, funny The letter before TUTE or TUDE is i, except in QUIETUDE and DESUETUDE. e is again learned last, Has more possible ways to spell it“silent e” option fairly rare (-ee- more likely) WORDS! WORDS! GET TO THE WORDS! OY and OI Often OY appears at the end of a word or syllable and OI appears within a syllable; exceptions are marked with an asterisk OY ahoy alloy annoy arroyo bellboy boy boycott boyish boysenberry
