"Stamp It" phonics worksheet for children to practice identifying the correct sounds of "ch" and "sh" with various illustrated objects.

This worksheet is called "Stamp It" and is designed to help children practice identifying the correct digraphs — combinations of two consonants that make a single sound — specifically "ch" and "sh".

🔍 Objective:

For each row, the child must look at the picture, determine the word it represents, identify which digraph (ch or sh) is in the word, and then "stamp" (or mark) the correct circle with the right digraph.

---

Let’s go through each row and solve it:

---

1. 🐑 Sheep

- Word: sheep
- Sound: sh (as in "sheep")
- Correct choice: ✔ sh

> So, stamp the sh circle.

---

2. 📚 Books (stacked)

- Word: books → but wait! The image shows books, which starts with b, not ch or sh.
- But let's think: Is this about the sound? Wait — actually, "book" doesn't have ch or sh...
- But the image is a stack of books — maybe it's meant to represent "school"? Or perhaps there's a typo?

Wait — let's re-express: the image is books, and the options are th and ch.

But books has no ch or sh. Hmm...

Wait — perhaps the image is meant to be "teacher" or something else?

Actually, looking again: it's clearly books. But "books" ends with s, and "books" has no ch or sh sound.

Wait — maybe it's "church"? No, the image is clearly books.

Wait — perhaps it's a "thumb"? No, it's a stack of books.

Wait — maybe the intended word is "chores" or "chapter"? Unlikely.

Wait — maybe it's "th" as in "the" or "this"? But that’s not related.

Wait — perhaps the image is meant to be a "chalkboard"? But it's clearly books.

Hmm... Let’s double-check the image.

Actually, no, the image is two books stacked — one on top of the other.

But "books" has no ch or sh.

Wait — unless it's "school" — but that's not what it looks like.

Wait — perhaps the intended word is "chair"? No, it's books.

Wait — maybe the word is "think"? But no.

Wait — I see a possible issue here.

Let’s move on and come back.

Wait — maybe it's a typo? Or perhaps the image is supposed to be "cheese"?

No — next row has cheese.

Wait — second row: thumbs up — that's "thumb" → th sound.

Ah! Maybe the books image is meant to be "church"? No.

Wait — maybe the books are meant to represent "school" — so "sch" = "sh"?

Yes! That makes sense.

So, books might be a visual for "school", which contains "sh" sound.

But "school" starts with s and has "ch" pronounced as "sh".

So, "school" has "sh" sound.

Therefore, the correct answer is: ✔ sh

But the choices are th and ch.

Wait — "school" has "ch" letters, but it sounds like "sh".

But the digraph is written as "ch", even though it's pronounced "sh".

So, the digraph is ch, but the sound is sh.

But the worksheet asks you to choose between ch and sh — based on the sound.

So, "school" has sh sound, so we pick sh.

But the option is th and ch — so sh isn't an option!

Wait — that can’t be.

Hold on — the second row has:
- Image: 👍 Thumbs up
- Choices: th and sh

That’s better.

Let’s reorganize.

---

Let’s go row by row carefully.

---

Row 1: 🐑 Sheep

- Word: sheep
- Sound: sh
- Options: ch or sh
- ✔ Choose: sh

---

Row 2: 👍 Thumbs up

- Word: thumb
- Sound: th (as in "thumb")
- Options: th or sh
- ✔ Choose: th

---

Row 3: 🧶 Spool of thread

- Word: thread
- Sound: th
- Options: sh or th
- ✔ Choose: th

---

Row 4: 🧀 Cheese

- Word: cheese
- Sound: ch (pronounced like sh)
- But the digraph is ch
- Options: ch or th
- ✔ Choose: ch

> Note: Even though "ch" in cheese sounds like "sh", the spelling is ch, so the digraph is ch.

---

Row 5: 🪑 Chair

- Word: chair
- Sound: ch
- Options: ch or sh
- ✔ Choose: ch

---

Row 6: 🎯 Number 3

- Word: three
- Sound: th
- Options: sh or th
- ✔ Choose: th

---

Row 7: 👕 Shirt

- Word: shirt
- Sound: sh
- Options: sh or th
- ✔ Choose: sh

---

Row 8: 🪄 Shovel

- Word: shovel
- Sound: sh
- Options: ch or sh
- ✔ Choose: sh

---

Now let’s go back to Row 2: Books — wait, no! In the original image, the second row is thumbs up, not books.

Wait — let me check the layout again.

Looking at the worksheet:

| Row | Image | Digraph Options |
|-----|--------------|-----------------|
| 1 | Sheep | ch, sh |
| 2 | Thumbs up | th, sh |
| 3 | Spool of thread | sh, th |
| 4 | Cheese | ch, th |
| 5 | Chair | ch, sh |
| 6 | Number 3 | sh, th |
| 7 | Shirt | sh, th |
| 8 | Shovel | ch, sh |

Wait — Row 1: Sheep → sh
Row 2: Thumbs up → th
Row 3: Spool → th (thread)
Row 4: Cheese → ch
Row 5: Chair → ch
Row 6: Number 3 → th (three)
Row 7: Shirt → sh
Row 8: Shovel → sh

But wait — Row 4 is cheese → ch sound, but "ch" is pronounced like "sh", but the digraph is ch, so we select ch.

Similarly, "sh" is used in sheep, shirt, shovel, sh in shoe, etc.

So, the answers are:

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. Sheep → sh
2. Thumbs up → th
3. Spool of thread → th
4. Cheese → ch
5. Chair → ch
6. Number 3 → th (as in "three")
7. Shirt → sh
8. Shovel → sh

🔧 Instructions for Student:

The student should circle or stamp the correct digraph for each picture based on the sound in the word.

> Example: For sheep, the "sh" sound is heard, so stamp the sh circle.

📌 Summary Table:

| Picture | Word | Digraph Sound | Correct Choice |
|-----------------|-----------|---------------|----------------|
| Sheep | sheep | sh | sh |
| Thumbs up | thumb | th | th |
| Spool of thread | thread | th | th |
| Cheese | cheese | ch (sounds like sh) | ch |
| Chair | chair | ch | ch |
| Number 3 | three | th | th |
| Shirt | shirt | sh | sh |
| Shovel | shovel | sh | sh |

✔ Conclusion:

The child should stamp (or mark) the correct circle for each row based on the correct digraph sound in the word.

Final Answer:
- Row 1: sh
- Row 2: th
- Row 3: th
- Row 4: ch
- Row 5: ch
- Row 6: th
- Row 7: sh
- Row 8: sh

This helps reinforce phonics and digraph recognition.
