Two letters, one sound!
A digraph is two letters that make one sound. Second graders master consonant digraphs like sh, ch, th, wh, ph and ck, and then dive into vowel teams such as ee, ea, oa, ai and ow: b + oa + t = boat. They learn that some sounds have more than one spelling, like f and ph in "fish" and "phone." Kids use digraphs to read and spell longer words. The click moment comes when a child reads "photograph" and grins because they knew ph says /f/.
Digraphs take lots of seeing, saying and spelling. These moves give kids all three.
Flash digraph cards for two minutes each morning. Kids say the sound, then a word that uses it. Short daily review makes the sounds automatic, so kids can focus on meaning when they read.
Why it works: teaching letter sounds directly and in order is one of the best-supported findings in reading research (National Reading Panel, 2000).
Try it withDigraphs Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Give kids letter and digraph tiles and challenge them to build as many real words as they can in five minutes. Have them read each word to a partner. Building words shows how digraphs work as one unit.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
Try it withBlends, Digraphs, and Trigraphs ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Once kids know sh, ch and th, practice them together instead of one at a time. Mixed practice makes them look closely at each word, which is what real reading requires.
Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

A digraph is two letters that make one sound, like sh in ship or ea in leaf. Second graders work on both consonant digraphs and vowel teams.
In a blend, you can hear each letter, like bl in blue. In a digraph, the two letters make one new sound, like sh in shoe.
Vowel digraphs, often called vowel teams, are two vowels that make one sound, like ai in rain, ee in tree and oa in boat.
Hunt for digraphs in books, signs and cereal boxes. Write a word and have your child underline the digraph, or play a quick "Say a word with sh" game in the car.
