This phonics worksheet helps early readers identify words containing two letter L-blends. Students must circle the words then read them aloud.

    Reading comprehension is essential for children aged 7-8 as it lays the foundation for lifelong learning and academic success. One aspect that greatly contributes to reading comprehension is understanding consonant digraphs, which are combinations of two consonants that make one sound (e.g., "ch" in "chair" and "sh" in "ship"). Mastery of consonant digraphs is critical at this stage of literacy development for several reasons.

    Firstly, consonant digraphs expand a child's phonetic toolkit, enabling them to recognize and decode a wider array of words. This skill is crucial for fluent reading, which directly impacts comprehension. If children struggle to sound out words, their ability to focus on the meaning of the text diminishes, leading to frustration and disengagement.

    Secondly, recognizing consonant digraphs improves spelling. When children understand how these sounds create specific, common spellings, they are better equipped to write words correctly, enhancing their ability to convey ideas clearly.

    Lastly, literacy skills developed at a young age strongly influence future academic performance. Children proficient in reading comprehension by age 8 are more likely to excel in other subjects, where reading is fundamental for understanding content.

    By emphasizing consonant digraphs, parents and teachers help children become confident, skilled readers, setting a strong foundation for their educational journey.
