Description

Transform your phonics instruction with these vibrant, evidence-based Consonant Digraphs Posters. Designed explicitly for early readers, this resource provides clear visual anchors, mouth formation cues, and word examples to help students confidently master the trickiest first-year spelling rules. Perfect for structured literacy classrooms, structured intervention, or home learning!

Are you looking for an easy, effective way to explicitly teach consonant digraphs?

This comprehensive set of classroom posters simplifies abstract phonics rules into manageable, highly visual steps. By focusing on articulatory gestures (how the sound physically feels in the mouth), these posters bridge the gap between spoken phonemes and written graphemes, aligning perfectly with the science of reading.

Each poster breaks down a specific digraph with simple, kid-friendly explanations, high-quality illustrations, and diverse word placements (initial, medial, and final) to build robust decoding and encoding skills.

What’s Included?

This pack includes targeted posters for the 5 core consonant digraphs introduced during the first year of literacy instruction:

  • th (/th/) – Cues for tongue positioning with examples like thumb, throw, and moth.

  • ch (/ch/) – Clear instructions for tongue placement with examples like chick, chat, and lunch.

  • sh (/sh/) – Lip formation cues featuring sheep, shop, and fish.

  • -ck (/k/) – Explains the rule for using two letters at the end of a word with examples like sock, lick, and rock.

  • -ng (/ng/) – Focuses on the nasal ending sound with examples like ring, song, and swing

  • Structured Literacy Aligned: Explicitly aligned with the NZC English Phase 1 (Spelling during the first year) and the Ready to Read Phonics Plus (Kākano) Scope and Sequence.

  • Articulatory Cues: Promotes phonemic awareness by telling students exactly where their lips and tongues should be to make the sound.

  • High-Quality Visuals: Bright, clear, and engaging graphics support vocabulary development and retain young learners’ attention.

  • Scaffolded Examples: Features the target digraph color-coded within the words to help students instantly spot the pattern.

Perfect for: 

  • Daily phonics warm-ups or review

  • Classroom display / Sound Wall additions
