About this resource
Say each pictured word, listen to its opening sound, and write CH, SH, or TH on the line. A completed reference identifies the picture words for review. Model stretching the opening sound before pupils choose the corresponding two-letter digraph.
Curriculum reference — England: Connecting consonant digraphs with initial sounds fits Ontario Grade 1 and England Year 1 grapheme-phoneme work. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
