What Is a Digraph?
A digraph is just a fancy name for two letters that make one new sound. The ones you’ll see most often are sh, th, wh, and of course, ch, which is what we’re talking about today.
Why Are Digraphs Important?
Digraphs are important building blocks for early literacy!
Digraphs build on other important early literacy concepts like learning closed syllables and cvc words, so that students can begin reading longer, more complex words.
Students will need repeated exposures in order to master the concept of digraphs and for each digraph they learn.
Use our digraph word lists for dictation, spelling, and sorting, and our Read-and-Spell Flower activity for more practice!
It’s important to teach the ch digraph while touching on the sh digraph, so that children can learn to differentiate the letters and distinguish the sounds. These worksheets include practice exercises to assist with that concept.

hi I am still trying I love and appreciate the things that you share but I press the blue Download Rectangular button and nothing happens please help
Hi Renee, does a download icon appear at the top righthand corner of your browser (it looks like an arrow inside a circle)? Once you click the download button, there should be a copy saved to your computer. You can also go into your files and search for the item you downloaded. If that doesn’t work, and you’re on your work/school computer, there may be a block in place. You may want to try from a different computer. Let us know if you need further help – send us an email! 🙂
