You can help your child practice identifying ending consonant digraphs at home. A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonants that together represent a new sound. Below are some words that end in digraphs. Use the following tips to help your child practice.
-
Pictures in a Bag: Look through magazines and find pictures that end with the digraphs above. Ask your child to cut out each picture and put it in a bag. Have your child pull out one picture at a time and identify the picture. Your child can then tell you which digraph he or she hears at the end of the word.

Cereal Bingo: Make a bingo card and have your child randomly write the words from the box above on the card. You can add your own words, too! Call out one word at a time, and have your child mark the word he or she hears. When your child gets a whole row, have him or her call out “Bingo!” For more fun, use your child’s favorite cereal to cover the words!

Be a Detective: Ask your child to search through books to find pictures and words that end with the digraphs above. Have your child pick ten words to write on index cards and circle the digraphs. On the back of each card, draw the word. Use them as flash cards to help practice the ending digraphs.
