  • Consonant Digraphs Skill Explainer

Word Chaining with Digraphs

In this activity, teachers start with a short word (real or nonsense) then change a single letter or sound to make a new word for students to read. This activity can be done with the whole class or in small groups.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and three anonymous donors.
