Is your child or student ready to tackle the ‘ch’ sound? Join us on a fun sound adventure designed to teach the consonant digraph CH through playful chanting, exciting vocabulary, and interactive challenges! This video is perfect for preschoolers, kindergartners, and 1st graders who are beginning to learn phonics and letter sounds.
In this easy-to-follow lesson, we use rhythm and repetition to help children identify, read, and pronounce the ‘ch’ sound in key words like cheese, chair, chicken, and chalk. Plus, we’ll try a silly clap or ‘no way’ challenge to practice auditory discrimination!
What your child will learn:
- Identify the ‘ch’ sound at the beginning of words.
- Practice blending the sounds to read ‘ch’ words.
- Expand vocabulary with familiar ‘ch’ words.
- Develop phonological awareness through interactive games.
This resource is ideal for teachers looking for engaging phonics mini-lessons and parents seeking supplemental educational activities at home.
