DIGRAPHS (WH,PH)

Digraphs (e.g. sh-ch-th-wh-ph) are a combination of two or more letters that make a single sound.Teaching digraphs is a great tool for helping students read fluently without wasting time at recognizing the letter combination.

This is the second part of digraph worksheets that I am planning to use next year(find Part 1 here).

Currently I am having a hard time especially with wh questions as my students would always omit h even when they are copying so I am sure that this is going to be a lot of help for them.

First, the dagraphs are introduced and practised orally with the help of the above posters, then the students are given the worksheets below for further written practice and consolidation.

DIGRAPHS (CH,SH,TH)

Digraphs (e.g. sh-ch-th) are a combination of two or more letters that make a single sound.Teaching digraphs is a great tool for helping students read fluently without wasting time at recognizing the letter combination.


My students' first foreign language is French so I always have a hard time especially teaching them the difference between CH and SH.
Every time we encounter a word including CH or SH I direct their attention to the difference between French and English.
This is why I immediately went down to creating Digraph Wheels as soon as I stumbled upon the flashcards posted at

After the visual and oral introduction of the phonics you can give the students the worksheets below for a written practice and consolidation.
