Description

Consonant digraph posters are incredibly useful tools in early literacy classrooms because they make abstract phonics concepts concrete and accessible. Here’s why they’re worth the wall space:

• They clarify tricky sounds: Digraphs like sh, ch, th, and wh represent single sounds made by two letters. Posters help learners visualize and internalize these combinations.
• They support decoding and spelling: When students encounter unfamiliar words, posters act as visual cues to help them break down and build words more confidently.
• They reinforce sound-symbol relationships: Seeing the digraph alongside a picture (like sh with a ship) strengthens the connection between the sound and its written form.
• They encourage independent learning: Students can refer to the posters during writing or reading tasks, reducing reliance on the teacher and boosting autonomy.
• They enhance classroom engagement: Bright, themed posters can spark curiosity and make phonics feel fun and approachable.
