digraphs

English Language Arts

• The child has learned the concept of digraphs, which are two letters that make a single sound. They have learned to identify and recognize digraphs such as "sh," "ch," and "th."
• They have practiced reading and writing words with digraphs, improving their phonics skills.
• The child has learned to differentiate between words with digraphs and words without digraphs, enhancing their spelling abilities.
• Through the activity, the child has developed their vocabulary by learning new words that contain digraphs.

To further develop the child's understanding of digraphs, you can encourage them to create their own digraph word lists and practice reading and writing sentences using these words. Additionally, you can play digraph bingo or create digraph flashcards to reinforce their recognition of digraphs in different words.
