Only start digraphs when you know you individual letter sounds really well!<\/p>\n

A digraph is two letters (instead of an individual letter) that says a certain sound.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with some of the most common ones; th, sh and ch!<\/p>\n

th (breathy)<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0th (vocal)<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

sh<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ch<\/a><\/span><\/h1>\n

Activity:<\/h3>\n

Write down these words and underline all the digraphs you can find.\u00a0 For individual sounds write a sound dot under it.\u00a0 Then you can push the sound buttons and digraphs in order and blend the sounds together to read the word!\u00a0 For an example, click here.<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. shut<\/li>\n
  2. chill<\/li>\n
  3. this<\/li>\n
  4. think<\/li>\n
  5. chat<\/li>\n
  6. shake<\/li>\n
  7. thimble<\/li>\n
  8. child<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now try to read this sentence using your knowledge of your new digraphs:<\/p>\n

    This child feels quite chilly in this shack.\u00a0 Even the sheep feel chilly.\u00a0 He shut the door to the shack and then thought, “This is better!”.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    MORE DIGRAPHS!\u00a0 All these digraphs say the same sound and are very common.\u00a0 ER is often<\/strong> found at the end of a word, whereas ir and ur are often<\/em><\/strong> found in the middle, but this is certainly NOT the rule!<\/h4>\n

    This week’s digraphs are oo (which can have two sounds), ee and or.\u00a0 Click on the digraph below to hear the alphabet rap!<\/h4>\n

    A saying that sometimes helps with a digraph containing two (different) vowels is: “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking”\u00a0 which means often when you have two different vowels side by side, the digraph takes on the HARD or LONG sound of the first vowel.<\/h4>\n

     <\/p>\n

    00<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0oo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ee<\/span> \/\u00a0or<\/span><\/a><\/h1>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Activity<\/h3>\n

    Ask your parents or older sibling to help you choose an appropriate newspaper clipping or magazine article (one that noone minds if you write on it!).\u00a0 Get a writing utensil and search through the article for any oo, or, and ee digraphs and UNDERLINE these digraphs.\u00a0 See how many you can find!<\/p>\n

    CHALLENGE: Go back over all the digraphs you found and see if you can sound out each word.\u00a0 You may even see other digraphs from last week that you can include in your search.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Think of the above vowel saying for these next three digraphs! “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking”.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    oa<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ai<\/a>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0ea<\/a><\/h2>\n

    These two directly above are not digraphs but rather an alternative way of producing the same sound.\u00a0 The line represents the place where a consonant would be.<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

    So if you think you are ready to move on to trigraphs then have a look at these below.\u00a0 Trigraphs are 3 letters that make one sound when put together.<\/h4>\n
