Montessori phonics is a method of teaching reading and writing based on the sounds (phonemes) that make up words. It involves introducing students to the sounds of the letters and how they combine to form words. Montessori phonics uses a hands-on approach, with students manipulating letters and objects that represent the sounds they are learning. This method builds a strong foundation for children to become confident readers and writers. It also allows them to develop their language skills at their own pace, as they progress through the different stages of phonics learning.
In Montessori learning, digraphs are a set of two consecutive letters representing a single speech sound. They are taught through a combination of visual and tactile learning using various materials such as sandpaper letters, movable alphabets, and picture cards. Students first learn the basic phonetic sounds before moving on to digraphs, which are commonly found in English words such as “sh”, “th”, and “ch”. By mastering digraphs, students can improve their reading and language skills, as well as their overall understanding of the English language.

How to use this resource
This activity page contains many fun, quick, and engaging hands-on exercises. Children are prompted to practice letter formation, identify words that begin with the digraph, color, trace, and identify the digraph. The poster also has a visual demonstration of the pronunciation. The complementary sheet also contains images and labels for additional matching work and cutting exercise strips with the digraph sh.
Print on cardstock and laminate if you wish to reuse it, or print a black and white version for each student to complete. Gather pencils, crayons, pegs or counters, scissors, play dough, or some loose parts for children to build the digraph sh.
Present the phonogram and invite the child to say the sound correctly following the prompt, trace or build the digraph, color, match the picture to the picture and the word to the word, trace it, clip pegs onto correct boxes, and practice cutting.
