What does consonant digraph mean?

A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonant letters that represent a single sound. It's like a secret code where two letters work together to create a unique sound!

Here are some examples:

* sh - as in ship

* th - as in thin

* ch - as in chair

* ph - as in phone

* wh - as in what

* ck - as in duck

* ng - as in sing

Sometimes, these digraphs can sound like a different letter, like the ph in phone sounding like an "f".

Consonant digraphs are important for learning to read and write because they help us understand how letters work together to create sounds.
