Meet the Phonics Digraphs – ph

What is a Digraph?

Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about something called a “digraph.” A digraph is when two letters come together to make one sound. Isn’t that cool?

The Special Sound of “ph”

Let’s talk about the digraph “ph.” When you see the letters “p” and “h” together, they make the sound of “f.” It’s like magic! Let’s say it together: “ph” sounds like “f.”

Words with “ph”

Now, let’s have some fun with words that use the “ph” sound!

Phone

First, we have the word “phone.” A phone is something we use to talk to people who are far away. Can you say “phone”? Great job!

Graph

Next, we have “graph.” A graph is a picture that shows information in a fun way. Let’s say “graph” together. Awesome!

Trophy

Finally, we have “trophy.” A trophy is a shiny prize you get when you win something. Can you say “trophy”? You’re doing amazing!

Practice Makes Perfect

Now that you know the “ph” sound, try to find more words with “ph” in them. Remember, “ph” sounds like “f.” Keep practicing, and you’ll be a digraph expert in no time!

Keep Learning and Having Fun!

Learning new sounds and words is so much fun! Keep exploring and discovering new things every day. You’re doing a fantastic job!

  • Can you think of any other words that have the “ph” sound in them? Maybe you can find some in your favorite books or around your home!
  • Why do you think some words use “ph” instead of just “f”? Do you think it makes the words look special or interesting?
  • Have you ever won a trophy or seen someone win one? What was it for, and how did it make you feel?
  1. Ph Sound Hunt: Go on a “ph” sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects or pictures that have the “ph” sound in their names. For example, you might find a photo or a phone. Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with your friends or family!

  2. Create a “Ph” Collage: Gather magazines, newspapers, or printed images and cut out pictures of things that have the “ph” sound. Glue them onto a piece of paper to create a “ph” collage. As you work, say the name of each item out loud to practice the sound. Display your collage for everyone to see!

  3. Ph Sound Storytime: With a friend or family member, create a short story using as many “ph” words as you can. For example, “Phil the dolphin won a trophy for his photo.” Draw pictures to go along with your story. Share your story with the class or at home, and see how many “ph” words you can include!
