Meet the Digraphs: A Fun Story

Hey there, little reader! Today, we’re going to learn about something super cool called digraphs. Digraphs are special pairs of letters that make one sound when they are together. Isn’t that fun?

What Are Digraphs?

Digraphs are like best friends who always stick together. When you see them in words, they make a new sound. For example, when you see “ch” in “chicken,” it makes a special sound. Can you say “ch” like in “chocolate”? Great job!

Let’s Find Some Digraphs!

When you read a book, you can find digraphs hiding in words. Look for them in words like “new,” “catch,” and “shout.” Try sounding them out slowly. You can do it!

Practice Makes Perfect

If you want to get better at finding digraphs, you can write a note to a friend and ask them to find digraphs too. It’s like a treasure hunt with words!

Keep having fun with words, and remember, reading is an adventure!

  • Can you think of any words that have digraphs in them? Try to say the words out loud and listen for the special sounds. What do you notice about the sounds they make?
  • Have you ever played a game or done an activity where you had to find something hidden, like a treasure hunt? How is finding digraphs in words like going on a treasure hunt?
  • Imagine you are writing a story with your favorite characters. Can you come up with a sentence that includes at least one digraph? Share your sentence with a friend or family member and see if they can find the digraph!
  1. Digraph Detective: Become a digraph detective! Grab a favorite storybook and a magnifying glass (or pretend to have one). As you read, look for words that have digraphs like “ch,” “sh,” or “th.” Every time you find one, say the word out loud and make the sound of the digraph. How many can you find in one book?

  2. Digraph Art: Let’s get creative! Draw a picture of something that starts with a digraph sound, like a “ch” for “chicken” or “sh” for “shoe.” Then, write the word next to your drawing. Share your artwork with a friend or family member and teach them the digraph sound.

  3. Sound Scavenger Hunt: Go on a sound scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that have digraph sounds in their names, like “chair” or “brush.” Make a list of the objects you find and practice saying the digraph sounds. Can you find at least five objects?

Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Meet the diagraphs! Phonics is fun when you know how to read words. Wherever you go, you can read words like “new,” “catch,” and “shout” if you work through them by sounding them out. Ask a friend who has questions by writing a note, then check her answer to see what she wrote. Watch for diagraphs when you read a book; it is easy to find them, you just have to look!
