Consonant Digraphs: sh ch wh th

I made up this story over 40 years ago to help my first grade students remember the sounds represented by the consonant digraphs sh, ch, wh, and th. Back then, however, I used a slate to tell it.

my biggest problem when I started learning English a few years ago was how to pronounce " th"... Nobody was able to teach me that so much easily . thanks.

@novakfordream You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

Anyone else think this is inappropriate? Couldn't Mr. H just have 4 friends?

This is great! I tutor a child, who has these very same problems. I've been showing her flash cards, which she loves. But I think I'm going to tell her this story. Thanks for posting.

That's a great story, really creative, congratulations...I'm gonna use it in my classes, I teach English as a second language but I so could use that to help my students write better.
