How To Pronounce The Digraphs

In this video, I'll go over how to pronounce the digraphs (sh, ch, th, etc.) Some digraphs have more than one sound, and some sounds have more than one digraph; this might seem tricky at first, but if we break it down and teach them to our little ones the same way we would primary sounds, we'll set them up for success.

I'm not a child. I'm a foreigner (a Brazilian) who has been living in the US for 4 years. I can tell that your videos work properly for those who have English as a second language. Keep it up!

You are a gift! Thank you so much. The schools refuse to teach this! Please sell these as flash cards you'll sell out fast for sure!

Thank you!! Can you please give us a link to where you show how to pronounce single letters that have varying sounds? Like the "O" and "Y" in "pony" vs. "ploy"? Thank you 🙏

My daughter and I make digraph and diphthong posters! We find words that serve as easy examples of the sounds we need, draw several, color them, and hang them up in the homeschooling room. Like for "ch" we drew a wedge of cheese, a chain, a bar of chocolate, a chess board, chair, etc. So when she reads now and runs into a digraph or diphthong, on the occasion that she gets stuck, she runs to her posters, finds the letter combo she's looking for, and comes back to read the word correctly.

Th also has another sound as in “these” as opposed to “think”. Think is air through the mouth, these has a sound made in the throat

[deborahmarshall]

Thank you for the reading strategies and teaching techniques. Where can I find the letter cards used in your videos

[MarlinCanario]

What is the difference between the course "Toddlers can read" vs "Love every"?

[deisysasaguay]

HI Spencer, Love your videos because they are easy to refer to. Which reading course do you focus on this the blending course or the reading rule course? Thank You
