ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Preschool Prep Company Meet the Phonics Digraphs – Pronouncing Segment
Hey there, little friend! Today, we’re going to have some fun with sounds. These special sounds are called “digraphs.” A digraph is when two letters come together to make one sound. Let’s explore some of these sounds and see what words we can make!
Can you say “ch”? It sounds like when a train goes “choo-choo!” Let’s try it with some words:
Now, let’s make the “sh” sound. It’s like when you tell someone to be quiet: “shhh!” Here are some words with “sh”:
Next, let’s try the “th” sound. It’s like when you stick your tongue out a little bit and say “thhh.” Let’s see some words:
Now, let’s make the “wh” sound. It’s like when you blow out a candle: “whhh.” Here are some words with “wh”:
Finally, let’s try the “ph” sound. It sounds like “f.” Let’s look at some words:
Now that you know these sounds, try saying them with your family or friends. You can even find more words that have these sounds. Remember, learning is fun, and the more you practice, the better you’ll get!
Keep exploring and have a great time with your new sound friends!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Look for objects that start with the digraphs “ch,” “sh,” “th,” “wh,” and “ph.” For example, you might find a chair for “ch” or a shoe for “sh.” Make a list or draw pictures of the items you find. Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Digraph Art: Create a piece of art using the digraphs you’ve learned. Draw or cut out pictures of things that start with “ch,” “sh,” “th,” “wh,” and “ph.” For example, draw a whale for “wh” or a phone for “ph.” Arrange your pictures on a poster and label them with the correct digraph. Display your artwork to show others what you’ve learned!
Story Time: Make up a short story using as many digraph words as you can. You might start with something like, “Once upon a time, a chick and a shark went on an adventure…” Share your story with your class or family. Can you think of more words to add to your story?
