You learn to notice letter teams that make one sound, such as sh, ch, and th. This helps you read and say short words more accurately in early primary English.
You should already know most letter names and common single letter sounds. It also helps if you can read a few short CVC words and say them clearly.
One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.
Which word begins with the "sh" sound?
Working: "Ship" starts with the digraph sh.
This topic usually appears in Lower Primary phonics work, where pupils move from single letter sounds to common blends and digraphs. It supports school-based continuous assessment and end-of-term tests because learners must read, recognise and use these letter teams in simple words.
Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
