digraphs
 Consonants ‘stick together’ to form one
sound, even though there are two letters.
 That is why they are on one card. They
           are not separated.
Chicken




                qu
Letter




 Q is the chicken letter- it refuses to go anywhere without its
 friend, u. It is never in a word alone. The u in this situation
 has no vowel sound. Qu is a digraph as well.

ch   chin   /ch/

m   man   /m/




m
n   nut   /n/




    n
Make the /m/ sound.

Plug your nose.

Make the /n/ sound.

Plug your nose.

These are nasal sounds because they come
 from the nose. This means it sometimes
 makes the short vowel sound different.
Welded
         Sounds
