Description

Transform your phonics instruction with these vibrant, evidence-based Consonant Digraphs Posters.

Are you looking for an easy, effective way to explicitly teach consonant digraphs?

This comprehensive set of classroom posters simplifies abstract phonics rules into manageable, highly visual steps. By focusing on articulatory gestures (how the sound physically feels in the mouth), these posters bridge the gap between spoken phonemes and written graphemes, aligning perfectly with the science of reading.

Each poster breaks down a specific digraph with simple, kid-friendly explanations, high-quality illustrations, and diverse word placements (initial, medial, and final) to build robust decoding and encoding skills.

What’s Included?

This pack includes targeted posters for the 5 core consonant digraphs introduced during the first year of literacy instruction:

th (/th/) – Cues for tongue positioning with examples like thumb, throw, and moth.
ch (/ch/) – Clear instructions for tongue placement with examples like chick, chat, and lunch.
sh (/sh/) – Lip formation cues featuring sheep, shop, and fish.
