Good morning, young explorers! Today we are going to embark on a special adventure into the wonderful world of digraphs. Digraphs are two letters that come together to make one sound. Are you ready to discover the magic of letters?
To kick off our adventure, let's imagine that letters are friends on a playground. Some letters love to team up and play games together. When they do, they create digraphs! For example:
Gather around, everyone! I'm going to read you a short, exciting story about our letter friends on the playground.
Once upon a time, on a bright sunny day, the letter friends gathered to play. The letters 'c' and 'h' decided to have a chocolate party. They shouted, "Let’s have fun with the sound 'ch'!" Not far away, 's' and 'h' were building a tall sandcastle. They worked hard and created a magical ship with the sound 'sh'! Meanwhile, 't' and 'h' were on a treasure hunt, laughing and looking for a shiny thing. They shouted together, "Look, we found something with 'th'!"
Now it's your turn to join in the fun!
Echo Game: I will say a digraph sound, and you have to repeat it after me with all your might!
Digraph Matching: In a moment, I will put a few pictures on the board. You will match the pictures with the right digraph sound. Get ready to put on your thinking caps!
Today, we learned that digraphs are like teamwork among letters, making new sounds and words. Together, we can read and create amazing stories! Are you excited to continue our digraph adventure? Let’s dive into more fun activities from here!
As you go through your day, listen for the sounds of digraphs in your words. You’ll be amazed at how many you can find! Happy reading, explorers! 🌟
