  • Digraphs & Trigraphs Picture Flashcards

How to do it

Pick a handful of letter or digraph cards — s, a, sh or ch work well. Hide them around the room while your child isn't looking.

When you say go, they hunt. Every card they find, they bring to you and say the sound. If they get it right, it goes in the "found" pile. If not, you say it together and they hide it again for another go.

Colour the Easter sheet together when the hunt's done — a good way to wind down and extend the seasonal feeling. You can make it trickier by mixing in digraphs once they're confident on single letters.
