This animated phonics song helps children learn the sound of the trigraph SHR in English. A trigraph is a combination of three letters representing one sound. Colorful characters teach kids two words at a time with the SHR sound. Kids will love singing along and watching the action after each group of two words. As they do, they’ll practice making the SHR sound. Developed with speech therapists to form each letter sound correctly. Extra practice reading words with the letter combination SHR follows the song.
