## What is a digraph?

A digraph is two letters that make **one** sound. Common consonant digraphs in early primary include:

- **sh** as in ship
- **ch** as in chip
- **th** as in thin or this
- **ck** as in duck
- **wh** as in when
- **ng** as in ring
- **qu** as in queen (q with its partner u)

In class, keep it practical. Students need to see the two letters as one unit when they decode and spell. A short activity pack after you introduce the sound gives every student something concrete to do.

Tip: teach the sound orally first. The printable works best as practise once students have heard and said the digraph with you.

## Synthetic phonics in Australian classrooms

These packs suit systematic synthetic phonics and Science of Reading style teaching in Australian primary classrooms: introduce the grapheme-phoneme correspondence, practise reading and spelling, then revisit in games or small groups.

They suit:

- Foundation to Year 3 classrooms teaching common consonant digraphs
- Intervention and literacy support groups that need a clear digraph focus
- Relief teachers and tutors who want a ready printable without writing a unit from scratch

We are not listing specific curriculum code strings here. Check your current Australian Curriculum documents (and your state or territory curriculum, if you report against one) for the exact content descriptions you need for planning and reporting.

## Free QU digraph activity pack

The free entry point is **Phonics Success Series: QU activity pack FREEBIE**.

**[Download the free QU digraph activity pack](/l/phonics-success-series-qu-activity-pack-freebie/66ecc6ad-6d98-474b-a970-8178e04ec457)**

What you get:

- A printable QU digraph focus for early phonics
- Instant download from TeachBuySell
- **Free**: no payment needed for the QU pack

Use it as your first digraph printable, a revision sheet later in the term, homework practise, or a calm independent task while you work with another group.

## How to use in class

### 1. Introduce the sound

Model the digraph. Students repeat as a class, then with a partner. Keep it short. Point to the two letters and say the one sound.

### 2. Decode and spell

Hand out the activity pack. Students read and write words with that digraph while the sound is still fresh. Circulate and catch letter-by-letter sounding errors early.

### 3. Practise with a game or rotation

Move to a game board, partner check, or literacy rotation so students reuse the same digraph in a second short task.

### Handy classroom uses

- **Lesson opener:** oral sound, then the pack for consolidation
- **Literacy rotation:** while you take a small group, others complete a digraph pack independently
- **Intervention:** one digraph focus for students who still blend letter-by-letter
- **Relief day:** one clear printable with the target digraph written on the board as the success criteria

A worksheet alone does not teach the sound. Your modelling does. The pack locks it in.
