Kavi and the Two-Letter Friends
"Here's a secret!" says Kavi the owl. "Sometimes two letters hold hands and make one brand-new sound. Put s and h together and you don't say /s/ then /h/ — you say /sh/, like a quiet 'shhh'! The same thing happens with ch, th and ng. Two letters, one sound — let's find them in words!"
