Digraphs: Reading Practice

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will practise reading words and sentences that contain digraphs (sh, ch, th).

🌟 Let's Start

Tunde saw a sign that said "FISH SHOP" at the market. He read it: fish — sh at the end! Shop — sh at the start! He was so proud. Let us read more words and sentences with digraphs.

📚 New Concept

Reading practice with digraphs:

sh words: shed, shell, shin, shock, shot, shrug, shut, ash, bash, cash, dash, dish, gush, lash, mash, mesh, mush, push, rush, wish

ch words: chap, chat, check, chess, chest, chill, chop, chum, chug, bench, bunch, catch, fetch, hatch, inch, lunch, match, much, punch, rich, such, touch, which

th words: than, that, them, then, thick, thin, thing, think, this, bath, both, cloth, math, moth, path, teeth, with, worth

Read these sentences:

• "I wish to eat fish and chips for lunch."

• "This shell is from the beach."
• "She had a bath and then went to the shop."

💡 Remember

When you see sh, ch, or th in a word, remember they make one sound, not two. The more you practise, the faster you will spot and read them!
