Today, we are going to have fun learning about the digraph “ch.” This will help you read and write better every day!
A digraph is when two letters come together to make a new sound. The letters “c” and “h” are friends. When they are together, they make a special sound: /ch/.
Let’s find the /ch/ sound at the start of some words:
Now, let’s find the /ch/ sound at the end of some words:
Remember, the letter “c” says /k/ and the letter “h” says /h/. But when they are together, they make the /ch/ sound. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be a “ch” expert!
Try to find more words that have the “ch” sound. Can you think of any? Maybe “chair” or “chocolate”? Have fun exploring!
Sound Hunt: Go on a “ch” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that have the “ch” sound at the beginning or end of their names. For example, you might find a “chair” or a “lunchbox.” Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Chalk Art: Use sidewalk chalk to write words that start or end with the “ch” sound. You can draw pictures to go along with your words. For example, draw a “chicken” or a “peach.” This activity helps you practice writing and recognizing the “ch” sound while having fun outside!
Story Time: Create a short story using as many “ch” words as you can. You might start with, “Once upon a time, a cheerful chimp found a chocolate chip cookie at the beach.” Share your story with your class or family. How many “ch” words can you include?
