I have been introducing Caleb to digraphs today - the /ch/ and /sh/ sounds. Here is a printable you can use to help teach them. Print it here! We discussed how the /sh/ sound can come at the beginning of a word such as: ship, shell, and also at the end of a word: gush, rush, He was very please with himself! Anyway, let me know how you get on with this printable. It is very simple - but then they are usually the best ones! Have a great day - Jane xx
