Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Spelling ship as sip or hip because the child hears only one letter and drops the other. Remind first graders that sh is a team of two letters that work together to spell one /sh/ sound.
• Confusing digraphs with blends. In ship (sh digraph), there is one sound; in spin (sp blend), there are two sounds. A quick test: if you can hear both letters, it is a blend; if two letters melt into one sound, it is a digraph.
• Forgetting that digraphs can appear at the END of a word too. Words like fish, rich, and with end with digraphs, not start with them. Encourage children to check both ends of a word for digraphs.
