Phonics skills are essential in the education of all children. Not only do phonics skills necessary for students to become strong, fluent readers, but these skills also contribute to spelling skills, reading comprehension, and decoding skills.
The bottom line: phonics skills are important.
One of the most difficult phonics skills for students to master is digraphs, also referred to as blends. Because of this difficulty, digraphs are often taught in sets which focus on particular letter combinations. One of the most popular digraphs are consonant digraphs with the letter h (sh, wh, th, ch). These digraphs are known in my world as "The H Brothers."
This lesson is a hit with students and my evaluations are always awesome when I am observed incorporating this lesson (hint, hint).
