A 10-day plan · ages 5 to 7

Ship and Chip

The goal: on day 10 your child spots two letters that make one sound, and reads words like ship, chin, this and ring never seen before.

For the child who reads short words like cat and hop, but says the two letters of ship apart, or stops at chin and ring. About five minutes a day from you.

That is the goal, not a promise. Some children have digraphs in a week, and some need the ten days twice. The plan teaches sh, ch and tch, th, wh, ck, ng and nk.

From s-h-i-p to ship

Today
ship

“s, h, i, p.” Each letter said apart.

Day 10
ship

The pair first: one line, one sound. Then the word.

Your child reads sip. Then an h is added, and your child says s, then h, and the word falls apart. That does not mean your child is not trying. Until now every letter had its own sound. In a digraph two letters team up and make one new sound. So this plan teaches one habit: find the pair first.

See it and hear it

One minute, and you will know what this is

Hear a real sound track

This is the day 2 track your child works with. It waits, then gives the answer. Nothing listens back.

Step one is different

First, find where to start

Not every child who is stuck on digraphs is stuck in the same place. Day 1 is a four-minute check that shows you which day to start on.

🤫Pairs are new

Says each letter of sh, ch or th apart. Start at day 2.

ship → “s-h-ip”
sh, ch, th are steady

Reads ship and chin, but stops at ring and when. Start at day 6.

ring → ?
✅Reads them all

Go to the story on day 9, then do the final check.

Short words are hard

Short words like cat and hop come first. The blending plan is the place to start.

You find out which pair to start with, or that the blending plan comes before this one.

It starts from a word your child can already read, and changes it with a pair: sip, then ship; tin, then thin. One pair a day, the easiest to hear first: sh, then ch, then th. Then wh and ck, then ng and nk. Then all of them mixed, and a story.

Show and star

Three pair words read aloud, pair first. One star colored.

“With your grown-up, 2 minutes” is printed on every page. Days 1, 5 and 10 are checks, and those need you for the whole page. A young child may need you nearby on other days too. If a day is easy, do the next one. If a day is hard, do it again tomorrow.

What this is not

It is not a promise: some children find the pair first within days, some need two rounds. It teaches consonant digraphs, sh, ch and tch, th, wh, ck, ng and nk, and not vowel pairs like ee and ai, which are in Cap to Cape and Stars and Clouds. Saying the letters of a pair apart is not a sign of dyslexia by itself; if your child is seven or older, or reading is very hard in other ways, tell the teacher. Nothing to install, and no screen for your child. If cat and hop are not yet steady, the blending plan comes first, and the free check tells you. You need a printer and scissors.

Questions

Do I need anything special?

Only the printed pages, a pencil, crayons and scissors for the pair cards. Your child never needs a screen.

What is a digraph?

Two letters that make one sound together, a sound neither letter makes alone: sh in ship, ch in chin, th in thin. A blend is different: in stop, the s and the t each keep their own sound.

Which digraphs should I teach first?

Start with sh. Its sound is easy to hear and to feel, like a finger on the lips. Then ch, then th. After that wh and ck, then ng and nk. That is the order of this plan, one a day.

Why does th sound different in thin and this?

Because th has two sounds: a quiet one in thin, and a buzzing one in this. Both are right. If one sound does not make a word, your child tries the other.

How old should my child be?

Most children who need this are five to seven. Your child should already read short words like cat, hop and sit, even slowly. The free check shows you whether that step is steady.

How many minutes a day?

Around five. Two minutes together on job 1, the rest your child does with the track, then three pair words read to you.

My child still says s-h. What now?

Do the day again with the pair cards on the table, and cover all but the pair with a finger. Ask: two letters, one sound, which one? The halfway check on day 5 tells you when to go on.

What comes after the ten days?

You can stop there. If you want daily practice to keep going, The One Sheet gives your child one sheet a day, made from what you tell us. It is a separate plan, $9.99 a month, and you can cancel any time.

Does anything record my child?

No. Nothing in this pack watches, listens to or records your child. You are the one who listens.

How do I get the videos and sound tracks?

The “start here” page of the book has a code to scan with your phone, and a short link. They open in your browser. There is nothing to install.

What if it is not right for us?

Write to hello@sounditoutreading.com within 30 days of buying and we will refund you. You do not need to give a reason, and you keep the pages.
