Consonant digraphs refer to a joint set of consonants that form one sound. Common consonant digraphs include “sh”, “ch”, “wh” and “th”. Some digraphs are found at both the beginning and the end of a word. Others are strictly initial consonant digraphs, like “kn”, or final consonant digraphs, like “-ck”. The concept of consonant digraphs is often introduced in kindergarten and later expanded upon in first and second grade.

Understanding Consonant Digraphs
Consonant digraphs are pairs of consonants that together produce a single sound, a fundamental concept in early phonics instruction. Common examples include:Box Learning
-
sh as in ship
-
ch as in chair
-
wh as in whale
-
th as in thumb
-
ck as in clock
-
ph as in phone
These digraphs can appear at the beginning (initial digraphs) or end (final digraphs) of words. For instance, “ch” in chair is an initial digraph, while “ck” in clock is a final digraph. Understanding and recognizing these digraphs is crucial for developing reading and spelling skills, typically introduced in kindergarten and reinforced through first and second grade.
