Students are ready to start learning digraphs after a thorough understanding of CVC words. Kids are quick graspers when they enjoy what they do. Therefore, some additional twists and excitement should be there in their lessons.
Teaching usually begins with easy words. Tell the toddlers to puff their cheeks before speaking the "wh" word. Make them sound as if they are blowing a candle. You can write a word with the "wh" words, such as a whale or wheel. Help them recognize the specific object and encourage them to shout the digraph WH out loud.
You can use some jumbled words or sentences and ask them to make a word and pronounce the digraph WH. In this way, you build curiosity in them. And with curiosity, they learn faster.
To keep developing their ability to understand digraph "wh" sounds, students of any grade require additional guidance. Parents can collect some homophones and make their child pronounce them, like "hole" and "whole."
You can also have some rhyming words like "beat" and "wheat." Review their performance and praise them after every correct answer. When they are wrong, dictate the word once again and ask them to repeat it after you.
For the best practice, kids should get something exciting to play with. SplashLearn's online innovative and educational games teach "WH" digraph in a very interactive way that encourages children to grasp the sounds easily. Make your child engaged with these activities.
