Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with words? Today, we’re going to learn about something called digraphs. Digraphs are special pairs of letters that make one sound when they are together. Let’s explore some of these cool sounds!
Here are some words with digraphs:
When you see these letter pairs, try to sound them out. It’s like a little puzzle! For example, when you see “ch” in “cheese,” it makes a “ch” sound. Isn’t that fun?
Reading is like going on an adventure. You can find digraphs in many words, like “catch” and “shout.” When you read a book, look for these special sounds. They are hiding in lots of places!
You can also use digraphs to write notes to your friends. Ask them questions and see what they write back. It’s a great way to practice!
Do you know the song “Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?” It’s a fun way to practice asking questions. Try singing it with your friends and see who can find the cookie!
Remember, learning about digraphs helps you read better. So keep looking for them in words and have fun reading!
Digraph Hunt: Go on a digraph hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or items that have digraphs in their names. For example, find a chair or a shoe. Make a list of all the digraphs you find and share them with your friends or family. How many can you find?
Digraph Art: Create a piece of art using words with digraphs. Draw or cut out pictures of items like a phone or a wristwatch. Label each picture with the word and highlight the digraph. Display your artwork and explain the digraphs to your classmates or family members.
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen for digraphs in everyday conversations. When you hear a word with a digraph, raise your hand or make a fun signal. Try this activity during storytime or while watching a video. How many digraphs can you catch?
Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript, removing unnecessary sounds, repetitions, and maintaining clarity:
