This PowerPoint explicitly teaches the digraph kn making the /n/ sound. It refers to kn being a consonant digraph- 2 letters that make 1 sound. It also refers to kn being silent letter pairs, where the k is silent.

This pack includes:

- An introduction to the kn digraph.

- A child friendly Learning Intention.

- Digraph kn flaschards.

- Knock on the doors. Can you see the digraph kn hiding behind each door?

- Hang the knickers on the line that have the kn digraph.

- Pick the knight with the kn digraph to fight the dragon.

- Cut the loaf that has the kn digraph with the knife.

- Read the kn words on the knits.

- The 'This or That' game- Which picture has the /sh/ digraph?

- Explicit formation of kn

- Decodable Word Flashcards.

- Decodable Sentences.

- Write the kn words on your whiteboard. Read them to a partner.

The decodable sentences included could also be used as dictation- where the teacher asks the students to write a sentence one word at a time, to assess learning to see if students are applying this spelling rule.

The text in these PowerPoints is editable, allowing you to change up words and sentences if you desire. The cliparts and backgrounds are not editable but the text is.

You can also get my complete digraph bundle by clicking on the link below. The complete bundle includes 10 PowerPoints for explicitly teaching consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th, floss- ss/ ff/ ll/ zz , ck, ng, wh, wr, ph and kn).

I also have single sounds PowerPoints and Vowel Team PowerPoints available on my TPT. These are also interactive and must be opened in Microsoft PowerPoint for the animations to occur.
