Yes, "igh" is a vowel digraph. It is commonly found in words like "high" and "light" and represents the long "i" sound.

A split digraph is when a vowel digraph is split by a consonant, such as the 'e' at the end of a word making the vowel say its name as in "time" or "hope." It occurs when an 'e' at the end of a word changes the short vowel sound to a long vowel sound.
Some examples of critical vowel sounds with the long "i" sound include words like "cry," "flight," "pie," and "sight." These words feature the "i" sound pronounced as a long vowel with the "i" sound.

When we talk about vowel combinations sounds, it is better to understand some differences in pronunciation: Digraphs: o "di" means "two", and "graph" means "written", two vowels are written together and they make a sliding sound. Vowel pairs: two vowel are written together, but only one vowel is pronounced (usually long) and the combined vowel is silent. For example: Weight [weyt] the combined vowels make a sliding sound (digraph) Pain [peyn] the letter "a" is pronounced and the letter "i" is silent. (vowel pair) I hope that helps! RED
