Phonics Power Blends: The Sounds of /sh/ and /ch/! 🚢🍫👟🧀
Welcome to the magical phonics lab! Today we learn two special sound pairs called digraph blends: /sh/ and /ch/! When letter S and letter H hold hands, they make the quiet, soothing sound /sh/, like asking someone to be quiet! We hear /sh/ in a big ship sailing the sea, a colorful shop, comfortable shoes, and a pretty seashell on the beach. When letter C and letter H hold hands, they make the brisk, rhythmic sound /ch/, like a train on the tracks /ch-ch-ch/! We hear /ch/ in a chair, tasty cheese, a cute baby chick, and sweet chocolate!
