Description
How to Teach Beginning Digraphs
This Cheep Cheep Cheep consonant digraphs activity helps children hear and read words that begin with ch, sh, th and wh. A digraph is two letters that make one sound, like the ch in chick or the sh in shark. Children say the name of each picture, listen for the first sound and match the picture to its word card. The activity works for kindergarten through 2nd grade, and an answer key is included.
How to Use the Activity
Print the picture cards and word cards on one side of the paper and cut on the dashed lines. Lay the pictures face up, read a word card out loud and find the picture that goes with it. For a game, turn every card face down and play Cheep Cheep: take turns flipping two cards and say “Cheep cheep!” when the picture and word match. This beginning digraphs activity fits a phonics center, small-group reading or partner practice, and a 1st grade practice page asks children to write the digraph that starts each picture name.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with steps and prep
- 12 picture cards and 12 word cards with ch, sh, th and wh beginnings
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: write the beginning digraph
- A matching pairs answer key and a practice answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Saying each picture name trains children to hear the one sound a digraph makes.
- Matching pictures to printed words connects that sound to its two letters.
- The memory game keeps practice playful, so children read the words again and again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After children play, ask them to sort the matched pairs into ch, sh, th and wh groups, then think of one more word for each digraph. Use the consonant digraphs activity as a quick warm-up before reading, or send a set of cards home for family game night.
