Digraphs CH and TCH Phonics Worksheets Reading Passages Anchor Chart

Description

CH and TCH make the exact same sound, which means students have no auditory clue to help them figure out which spelling to use — and that trips a lot of kids up. If your students are guessing randomly or just defaulting to one spelling for everything, they need more practice with the actual rule, and they need to see it applied across different word types.

This resource gives you a full set of printable activities built around the ch vs. tch spelling pattern — a poster that explains the rule, differentiated reading passages, and several worksheets that let students practice in different ways so the pattern actually sticks.

WHAT YOU WILL GET:

• CH vs. TCH Anchor Chart Poster
• Two Differentiated Reading Passages
• Cut-and-Paste Worksheet
• Speed Reader Worksheet
• Word Search
• Word and Picture Match Cards

CH vs. TCH Anchor Chart Poster:

This poster lays out the spelling rules for ch and tch side by side, with examples for each. It is an easy-to-understand reference you can hang in your classroom or print smaller for students to keep in their folders while they work through the activities.

Differentiated Reading Passages:

There are two reading passages, both featuring ch and tch words in context. The first passage uses simpler text and easier vocabulary, making it a better fit for students who are earlier in the learning process. Students read the story, highlight words that end in ch or tch, and then answer four comprehension questions. Having two versions means you can give different students the passage that is the right level for them without making it obvious you are handing out different work.

CH and TCH Worksheets:

The Complete the Word activity is a cut-and-paste worksheet where students choose the correct ending and glue it onto each word. The Speed Reader has students practice reading sets of ch and tch words as quickly as they can, which is good for building fluency and automaticity with the pattern. The Word Search gives students a chance to find and circle a list of ch and tch words, which is a lower-stakes way to reinforce the spelling of these words.

Word and Picture Match Cards:

This set includes 12 ch word cards, 12 tch word cards, and a picture card for each word. Students match each word to its picture. You can also use the cards as a word sort, which makes this one activity flexible enough to use in a few different ways. These work well at a literacy center or with a small guided reading group.

Because the activities cover the same phonics pattern in several different formats, you can spread them across a week of instruction, use them for morning work, send some home for homework, or pull specific pages for small group practice. There is no prep beyond printing, so you can grab what you need and go.
