About This Skill

On Iqleel, first-grade students will practice recognizing and using the most common consonant digraphs: 'ch', 'sh', 'th', and 'wh'. They will learn to identify the unique sound each of these letter teams makes, like the /sh/ sound in 'ship' or the /ch/ sound in 'chin'. Then, they will apply what they've learned by matching the digraphs to pictures and words. Mastering these consonant digraphs is a very important Phonics skill that greatly improves a student's ability to decode new words and read more fluently.
