Word Study Sort # 8 (8.1 ? 8.3)

Suggested Demonstration:

tch and ch

ch coach

tch ditch

Walk students through a pattern sort with ch and tch. Help them to realize that short vowel words are spelled with final tch, unless a consonant sound is heard before the /ch/; then the spelling is ch. The latter ch principle holds true for r-controlled vowels as well such as march. Because this sort is highly visual, blind sorting activities should be incorporated.

8.1 ? Easiest list (Recommended for early primary) 8.2-- Average list (Recommended for late primary / remedial intermediate) 8.3-- Challenge list (Recommended for intermediate)

Key Points:

Most short vowel words that end with /ch/, the final phoneme is spelled tch.

Long vowels, abstract vowels, and the consonants l, n, and r signal the use of ch (beach, couch, bench, belch, birch).

When you hear a short vowel sound use tch, unless you also hear a consonant sound before the /ch/, you then use ch.
