From chick to chairs, the “ch” sound appears in many familiar words children hear every day.
This CH Digraph Worksheet introduces that sound in a simple and approachable way, helping children connect what they hear to what they read and write.
With visual cues and structured writing lines, kids can practice recognizing and forming CH words step by step.
Meet the “CH” Sound
The “ch” sound is made when two letters work together to create a single sound.
Instead of saying each letter separately:
- c + h → “ch”
Children will see this sound in common words like:
- chicken
- chair
- cheese
- cherry
- chest
Learning this pattern helps children read more naturally and confidently.
What Kids Will Do in This Worksheet
Each page follows a simple and clear routine:
- Look at the picture
- Say the word
- Trace the word once
- Continue writing on the same line
The tracing guide appears at the beginning of each word, helping children quickly transition to independent writing.
Why Learning CH Words Matters
As children progress in reading, they begin to notice that some sounds are made with two letters.
Learning the CH digraph helps children:
- Recognize common sound patterns
- Improve reading fluency
- Build decoding skills
- Expand vocabulary
- Strengthen phonics confidence
This is an important step in early literacy development.

You can reinforce learning with simple activities:
- Say CH words together
- Ask your child to find “ch” words in books
