Digraphs: double letters

PhonemesGraphemesLetters and SoundsPhonemic AwarenessEarly readingELA K-2ELA 1st GradeKindergarten

OVERVIEW


When two letters come together to make one sound, they are called a digraph.

Some words end with -ck. These letters make just one sound, like in duck. Some words end with the double letters -ss, -ll, -ff, or -zz. These double letters also make just one sound.

Download our Digraphs: Double letters activity below.

Match pictures to the words with digraphs, like dress, bell, and buzz. Sound out each example word. Can you think of any other words with -ck, -ss, -ll, -ff, or -zz?

Deep Dive

Read our report on the Science of Reading. Research-based reading instruction must incorporate the 5 pillars of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. This report provides an easy to understand overview of each of these pillars and explains the important connection between how the brain learns to read (the Neuroscience of Reading) and how we teach children to read (The Science of Reading Instruction). It also explains why helping children build connections between letters and sounds, through phonics and phonemic awareness, is so crucial for the developing reading mind. This report is perfect for sharing with colleagues and friends!
