Digraph CH Worksheets

Free Printable Digraph CH Worksheets

The CH digraph is a crucial Phase 2 phonics skill, introducing children to a single sound represented by two letters. Young learners often find this sound tricky because they might try to pronounce each letter individually, saying /k/-/h/ instead of the combined /ch/ sound, as in "chip" or "chop." Another common hurdle is distinguishing CH from similar-sounding blends like SH or even J, leading to mispronunciations like "ship" for "chip" or "ditch" sounding like "dij." Students also need to master identifying CH at both the beginning (initial) and end (final) of words, such as "chat" versus "much," which requires careful listening and articulation practice to solidify this unique phoneme. Our CH digraph worksheets provide targeted practice to overcome these challenges. After introducing the sound, have your child read the decodable passage "Chuck's Lunch" aloud, focusing on accurate pronunciation of all CH words. Use the word sort activity to help them categorize words with initial CH (like "chin") and final CH (like "lunch"), reinforcing their positional awareness. The phrasing cards are excellent for building fluency; encourage them to read phrases like "rich lunch" or "catch a patch" smoothly. Finally, utilize the Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) chart to build quick recognition of CH words, helping them instantly identify and read words such as "check," "which," and "bench" without hesitation.
