Free Printable Digraph CH (Story 2)

The CH digraph produces the /ch/ sound heard in words like chip, lunch, and catch. Like the SH digraph, CH combines two letters to make one distinct sound. Children learn to recognize CH at the beginning of words (chip, chat, check) and at the end (much, lunch, catch). These free CH digraph worksheets provide four types of structured phonics practice: a decodable passage about a fun lunch scene, a word sort distinguishing initial CH from final CH, phrasing practice cards for building reading fluency, and a rapid naming chart for automaticity. Each worksheet follows Science of Reading principles and is designed for kindergarteners and first graders.
