Hello and welcome to our next sound. This week it is sh/ch. These two digraphs are often taught close together as they are so similar. Despite this, most children will grasp them quickly, especially after playing our games!! Young children like to put their finger to their lips and say 'shhh' for 'sh'. I often get children to pretend to chop with their hands for 'ch'. Its amazing how a little bit of body movement helps children to learn new things quickly: they call it 'multi-sensory'. So here we have two more games for you to download and print for free . The first is a simple matching game. Do talk about the pictures as you play the game. You can even do this before you start, making sure that your pupil knows what each picture is. Watch out - it's not 'food' this time, but 'lunch'! Game 1
There are two picture boards and one board with 'sh' and one with 'ch'. You can play it two ways: having either the pictures or letters as baseboards.
This is a simple matching game- but non-the-less greatly enjoyed by children. In this game they are not being expected to read words for which they have not yet learnt the phonic code - only identify the intial sound, 'ch' or 'sh'.
The second game is another board game. For this game, your pupil must already be able to blend competently, and have met 'ck', 'oo' and 'ee'. This game just adds in 'sh' and not 'ch'.
this game is helpful as it gives children the opportunity of reading short phrases, without the pressure of reading a 'book'.
