This is a phonics worksheet designed to help students identify words that contain the
"ch" sound (as in "chin") versus those that do
not have the "ch" sound. The task is to color the words based on whether they contain the
"ch" sound or not.
Instructions:
- Words with the
"ch" sound should be colored
blue.
- Words without the
"ch" sound should be colored
yellow.
Let’s go through each word and determine if it contains the
"ch" sound (which may be spelled as "ch", "tch", or sometimes other combinations, but here we’re focusing on the actual
/tʃ/ sound — like "chip" or "cheese").

Blue (ch sound): 11 words
-
Yellow (no ch sound): 13 words
