CH Song

This CH song is one of a series of guruparents phonics songs.

The song introduces the diagraph by featuring 12 words starting with ch, including some sight words.

Kids songs are a good way for a child to start to learn to read -- and this one is set to a catchy rap tune, features lots of colorful pictures and has a simple rhyming pattern. It is also a good song to introduce the ch sound for someone who is learning English.

'CH' is one of the most basic and important letter combinations. When a child is learning to read, if they have mastered this sound -- and have learned that it nearly always has a 'ch is for chicken' sound, and not a 'c is for cat' sound -- then they will be able to read faster and recognize more words. Speed is obviously vital, not least because the sooner a child learns to read at a reasonable pace, the sooner they will be able to read books purely for pleasure -- one of the hallmarks of a good student!

Lyrics:

Ch is for chair -- it has four legs
Ch is for chicken -- it lays a lot of eggs

Ch is for chimney -- on the roof of a house
Ch is for cheese -- it's eaten by a mouse

Ch is for cherries -- so delicious to eat
Ch is for chocolate -- it's lovely and sweet

Ch is for chimp -- it swings from tree to tree
Ch is for cheetah -- it runs with such great speed

Ch is for chuckle -- when you can't stop grinning
Ch is for cheer -- for when your team is winning

Ch is for chalk -- you can use it to write
Ch is for chess -- with pieces black and white
