T 4 Vowel Letter Clusters



Topic 4        Letter Clusters
A)  Vowel letter clusters                                                                                                                   
These are the arrangements of the English Vowel letters.
The ‘aeiou’ in vertical matches with the ‘aeiou’ in horizontal.  The following arrangements are the ‘aeiou’ in vertical to go with the ‘aeiou’ in horizontal

                (a)            (e)            (i)             (o)            (u)
(a)                            ae             ai              ao             au                                  
(e)            ea             ee             ei              eo             eu     
(i)             ia              ie              ii               io              iu
(o)            oa             oe             oi              oo            ou
(u)            ua             ue             ui              uo             uu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the table above, we can regroup the Vowel letter clusters with the same letters but different order together.

                (a)            (e)            (i)             (o)            (u)
                                ae             ai              ao             au           
                                ea             ia              oa             ua

                                                ei              eo             eu
                                                ie              oe             ue

                                                oi                              ou
                                                io                              uo

                                                ui
                                                iu

In English, the common Vowel letter clusters are:
                ea, ai, oa, au, ei, eo, ue, oi, ou, ui

(These are the double letter clusters.  Double ‘e’ and double ’o’ are the common letter clusters.)

                                ee             ii               oo             uu

The knowledge of the Vowel letter clusters makes the spelling of the English words so much easier.                                              (8)
