Consonant Digraphs Year 1 Unit Plan

This complete Year 1 unit teaches students that two consonant letters can work together to represent one sound. The lesson sequence develops recognition, blending, segmenting, reading and spelling with sh, ch, th, wh, ck and ng, followed by a ph extension and mixed application.

Use the native 20-slide teaching presentation for explicit instruction and modelling. Reinforce learning with a colour display, underwater board game, cut-and-sort activity, six worksheet pages and connected-text reading tasks. Check understanding with the native 22-slide quiz, two-page assessment and five-level rubric. Eight answer pages make marking and feedback straightforward.
