What is a consonant digraph?

  1. Two letters representing different sounds

  2. Two consonants creating a single sound not like either letter

  3. Two vowels next to each other

  4. A tool for phonemic awareness

The correct answer is: Two consonants creating a single sound not like either letter

A consonant digraph is formed when two consonants come together to create a single sound that is different from the sounds each letter would make individually. For example, in the word "shark," the letters "sh" come together to form the /sh/ sound. This is different from simply having two letters representing different sounds (Option A), having two vowels next to each other (Option C), or a tool for phonemic awareness (Option D). The key characteristic of a consonant digraph is that it involves two consonants that blend together to make a distinct sound.
