✨PHONICS ✨
Did you know that once children have learned their single letter sounds, they begin learning digraphs?
A digraph is simply two letters that make one sound.
Sounds like:
✨ oo
✨ ee
✨ ar
✨ sh
✨ ch
These sounds are a huge milestone in learning to read because they unlock so many new words and help children become more fluent and confident readers.
One thing I always encourage parents to remember is that learning phonics shouldn’t just be about flashcards and repetition. The more senses we can involve, the better.
That’s why we pair our sounds with actions to help make learning memorable, meaningful and fun.
If your child is currently learning Phase 3 phonics, I’ve put together a FREE Digraph Action sheet to help you understand exactly what they are learning at school and how you can support them at home.
You’ll also find our phonics flashcards on my website. They’re the ones in this video and include the sounds, actions and visual prompts that help learning stick.
