About Trigraphs
What this skill is
Trigraphs are three-letter combinations making one single sound (tch in catch, dge in bridge) or three blended consonant sounds (scr in scream, str in street, spl in splash).
When children learn it
Trigraphs are taught in 2nd and 3rd grade phonics units.
Teaching Tips
- Stretch 3-letter blend sounds slowly to hear all consonant sounds.
- Use tch after short vowels (catch) and ch after long vowels or consonants (bench).
Common Mistakes
- Dropping middle consonant sounds in 3-letter blends.
- Forgetting that tch follows short vowels.
