Phonics Practice with SH, CH, TH, CK, NG & WH
Children who can read cat and hop meet their first real exception to the rule — two letters that make one sound. This workbook introduces sh, ch, th, ck, ng and wh one pattern at a time, with reading and spelling practice on the same words, then mixes the patterns for review once each one is secure.
The most common reason a workbook gets abandoned is that it was a step too early or a step too late. Here is how to tell.
That next step is Consonant Blends Workbook.
SH, CH, TH, CK, NG and WH, worked from six directions rather than one.
The same skill, three stages apart. Cues are there when it is new and gone by the time it is not.
A picture, a box for every sound, and a line to write the word.
The picture stays, the letters are jumbled. More of the work moves to the child.
No picture, no boxes, no cue. Just the words.

A short sample pack that shows how a Wrenford page actually works — one guided page, one mixed page, one independent page, and a sentence sample, so you can see the support fading before you buy anything.
Coming from earlier in the path? CVC Words Workbook is the step before this one.
Two letters that work together to spell one sound — the sh in ship, the ch in chat, the th in thin. Children who sound them out letter by letter get stuck, which is why they are taught as a unit.
Digraphs usually come first. In a digraph the two letters make one new sound; in a blend you can still hear both. Digraphs are the smaller step up from CVC words.
Not necessarily. If short-vowel CVC words are already comfortable, you can start here. If they are still shaky, Book 1 is the better starting point.
Yes, an answer key is included.
