Description
Two letters, one brand-new sound: that is the whole idea behind the consonant digraph ch, and it is the idea this ch picture circle worksheet is built to make audible. First graders already know the sound /k/ and the sound /h/, so the moment those two letters stand side by side the old rules stop working. Hearing the difference comes first. Before a child can spell chair or read cheese, she has to notice that the word opens with a single puff of sound that neither letter makes on its own.
This ch picture circle worksheet gives that listening job a shape. Part A sets out six pictures in a clean grid: a drum, a cherry, a wedge of cheese, a chair, a sock and a bell. The child says each name out loud, listens to the very first sound, and circles only the pictures that begin with /ch/. Because the answer lives in the child’s own voice rather than in the spelling, the activity works just as well before formal spelling instruction as it does after it. Part B then moves the same sound into print. Three short sentences each carry a blank and two printed ch words underneath, and the child circles the one that belongs. An answer key is included on the final page.
What’s Included
- One printable worksheet page with a six-picture circling activity
- Three sentence items, each offering two ch words to choose between
- A full answer key page showing every circled picture and word
- Original, clearly drawn artwork sized for young eyes
- A print-ready PDF for classroom, tutoring or homeschool use
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It separates listening from spelling. Naming a picture removes the reading barrier, so a child who cannot yet decode cherry can still prove she hears the digraph.
- It teaches by contrast. Three ch pictures sit beside three that are not, so the child has to judge each one instead of circling everything on the page.
- It carries the sound into real sentences. Part B asks the child to use meaning, not just sound, which is how digraph knowledge actually pays off during reading.
Teacher and Parent Ideas
- Say all six picture names together before anyone picks up a pencil, and stretch the first sound of each one.
- Turn Part A into a sorting game with the pictures cut apart, then glue them into two columns.
- Hunt for more ch words around the room: chalk, chart, chin, chest, chips.
- Pair this first grade consonant digraph worksheet with an sh or th page so children compare the three digraphs side by side.
