Digraphs Worksheets
Frequently Asked Questions
What are consonant digraphs in kindergarten phonics?
A consonant digraph is two letters working together to make one sound, such as sh in ship, ch in chin, th in thin, and wh in when. Kindergarten digraph worksheets build early decoding and word-recognition skills.
How do I teach SH and CH digraphs to beginning readers?
Introduce one sound at a time with easy picture words such as ship and shop for SH and chip and chair for CH. Use digraph picture matching, tracing, and word-building activities before mixing the sounds.
What is the difference between a digraph and a consonant blend?
In a digraph, two letters make one sound, as in sh in fish. In a blend, both consonant sounds remain audible, as in st in stop. Printable phonics worksheets can help children sort examples.
Which TH and WH words can kindergarten children practice?
Start with picture-friendly TH words such as thin, bath, and moth and WH words such as when and whip. Say each word aloud, highlight the two-letter sound, then practice with consonant digraph worksheets.
