"Stamp It" and is designed to help children practice identifying the
"ch" and
"sh" digraphs (letter combinations that make a single sound) in words. The task involves looking at pictures, determining which sound ("ch" or "sh") matches the word represented by the picture, and then "stamping" (likely coloring or marking) the correct digraph.

Instructions for Use:
The child should:
1. Look at the picture.
2. Say the name of the object.
3. Identify whether the word begins with
"ch" or
"sh" (or sometimes ends with
"th", like "thumb").
4. Then "stamp" (color, mark, or circle) the correct digraph.
> ⚠️ Note: In some cases, like "thumb", the
"th" is at the end, but it's still the
"th" sound we're focusing on.
