Unit 5

Phonics - /sh/ and /ch/ words

Learning objective: Students will be able to identify and read words with
/sh/ and /ch/ sound.

Explanation:

 When the consonant ‘s’ and consonant ‘h’ come together, they

make /sh/ sound.

 The combined sound of these two letters are different from their
individual sounds.

For eg. ship, shop, shampoo, shepherd, sheet, shell

fish, dish, flush, rush, push, bush

 When the consonant ‘c’ and consonant ‘h’ come together, they

make /ch/ sound.

For eg. cheese, cheetah, cherry, church, chick, chariot

such, much, lunch, brunch, French, teach, peach

 /sh/ and /ch/ sounds are known as diagraphs

Learning outcome: Students can identify, pronounce and read words with
/sh/ and /ch/ sound.
