CH Digraph — chip, chat, much, and More

The "ch" digraph creates a completely new sound from two familiar letters. This free printable CH word tracing worksheet covers "chip," "chat," "much," "lunch," and more for children aged 5+. Unlike blends where both sounds are heard, the CH digraph produces the single /tʃ/ sound — distinct from both C and H individually. This concept is a major phonics milestone.

Understanding Digraphs vs. Blends

The key insight is that two letters can create an entirely new sound that neither letter makes alone. C says /k/, H says /h/, but CH says /tʃ/ — the "choo" sound. This is fundamentally different from blends where each letter keeps its sound. Children who grasp digraphs have unlocked a higher level of phonics understanding essential for fluent reading and accurate spelling.
