Let's solve this step-by-step.
Task Overview:
The goal is to
circle the pictures that start with the
/ch/ sound. The /ch/ sound is a consonant digraph (two letters making one sound), like in "chip," "chair," or "cheese."
We need to:
1. Look at each picture.
2. Say the name of the object/person in the picture.
3. Determine if the word starts with the
/ch/ sound.
4. Circle the ones that do.
