About This Skill

On Iqleel, second-grade students will train their ears to recognize the unique sounds of key consonant digraphs and letter teams. They will practice identifying the sounds for 'ph' (like in 'phone'), 'ch' (like in 'chin'), 'th' (like in 'think'), 'sh' (like in 'ship'), 'wh' (like in 'wheel'), and 'qu' (like in 'quick'). This is a very important Phonics skill that helps students decode new words and build their reading fluency.
