Twelve pictures with their words written underneath, each missing two letters: __ell for shell, fi__ for fish, du__ for duck. The five digraphs are printed at the top: sh, ch, th, wh and ck. Children say the word, find the missing sound and write the two letters. The ck words show that ck comes at the end of a word after a short vowel. Page 2 is the answer key.
