New Consonant Digraph Books

December 6, 2020 By: B Markercomment

Reading Elephant released 10 new consonant digraph books to our series. Kids usually learn consonant digraphs in kindergarten. Reading Elephant consonant digraph books systematically introduce the following sounds:

sh as in wish

th as in math

th as in then

ch as in chip

_tch as in match

_ck as in pack

_ng as in song

wh_ as in which

_ink as in pink

_ank as in sank

qu_ as in quick

This is an excerpt in one of our new consonant digraph books.

What are consonant digraphs?

The above sounds like sh, th and ch are sample consonant digraphs. Kids master consonant digraph sounds after they learn short vowels (a_ as in hat, e_ as in hen, i_ as in kit, o_ as in hop and u_ as in cup).

Consonant digraphs are 2 or more consonants clumped together that represent one sound. Beginning readers practice consonant digraph sounds in short vowel words.

Some examples of kindergarten level consonant digraph words include: ship, rink, that, then, rich, Beth, math, sash, rash, wish, cash, quit, quick, peck, neck, sick, bank, tank, rank… etc. These simple words help kids master consonant digraphs.

Later, as kids get into 1st grade, they practice reading consonant digraphs with long vowel sounds. Some examples of 1st grade level consonant digraph words include: shape, share, shy, throat, queen, cheap, cheek… etc.

I hope your students enjoy the new kindergarten level printable consonant digraph books, now available in our shop.
