💡 Notes:
- The
"ch" sound is typically a
voiceless "ch" like in
"chip" or
"school".
- Even though "clock" has a "c" and "l", the
"c" is pronounced as "k", so no "ch" sound.
- Some words may trick kids (e.g., "chocolate" has "ch", but not here).
- The monster with a "ch" hat is a visual clue, but the word
"monster" doesn’t have the "ch" sound.

✔ Summary:
Children should:
- Color
blue: Chair, Cheese, Chick, Chips, Chimney
- Color
yellow: All others
This activity helps build phonemic awareness and spelling skills by distinguishing between similar sounds like
"ch" vs. "sh" or "k".
