In today’s lesson, we explored the digraph “ch,” which combines the letters “c” and “h” to create the /ch/ sound. We practiced identifying this sound at the beginning and end of various words, such as “cheetah” and “beach,” and emphasized the importance of practice in mastering this digraph. Students are encouraged to continue finding and exploring more words that contain the “ch” sound.
  1. What sound do the letters “c” and “h” make when they are together?
  2. Can you think of a word that starts with the “ch” sound?
  3. What is a digraph, and why is it important for reading and writing?

Let’s Learn About “ch”!

Today, we are going to have fun learning about the digraph “ch.” This will help you read and write better every day!

What is a Digraph?

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/.

Listen for “ch” at the Beginning of Words

Let’s find the /ch/ sound at the start of some words:

  • I saw a cheetah, cheetah, cheetah.
  • And a chimp, chimp, chimp.
  • Dance with a chicken, chicken, chicken.
  • And cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha.

Listen for “ch” at the End of Words

Now, let’s find the /ch/ sound at the end of some words:

  • At the beach, beach, beach.
  • With my pooch, pooch, pooch.
  • I ate a sandwich, sandwich, sandwich.
  • And a peach, peach, peach.

Practice Makes Perfect!

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!

  1. 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!
