69. HOW do I Teach Digraphs? Phonics 101 for Moms of Kindergarten Readers!

What is a digraph? Have you looked at your homeschool phonics curriculum and noticed the word 'digraph'? Maybe you've even see the word 'trigraph'? What are these phonics skills, and how can you teach these to your beginning reader?

Digraphs are sounds represented by 2 letters. Common consonant digraphs are 'sh', 'ch', 'th', 'ng', 'ph' and 'wh'. Vowel digraphs (vowel teams) work together to make one long vowel sound. When you teach your Kindergarten homeschooler to read, teach these basic digraphs first: 'sh', 'ch' and 'th'.
