Blends and Digraphs

A blend is two or three letters that combine together to make one sound. Such as, sk, sl, pl, and tr. A consonant digraph is two consonant letters that combine together to make one sound. Such as, sh, ph, ch and wh. We have been working on these in class for the past couple of weeks. A good game to play at home is to tell your child to find or think of something that starts with the "tr" sound and then set a timer for one minute and see if they can do it! Play this game while you are cooking dinner or getting ready for bed!
