So what is a Digraph?

• A digraph combines two letters that make a single sound like ch in chick or watch.
• Digraph sounds are different to the individual sounds of the letters. They cannot be sounded out, which means they need some explicit teaching or they can hinder student reading fluency.
• They can be made up of vowels or consonants and are taught as part of phonics programs in Kindergarten, Reception, Preps and First Grade.
• They are not found just at the beginning of words, they can also be in the middle or make the final sound in words too.
• They are often confused with ‘Blends’- Digraphs are not blends because each sound of the 2 letters can still be heard.
