NG Digraph

 This handy digraph is found at the end of words (or at the end of a syllable, when we get into more complex words). The students were already mostly familiar with its application in -ing words, and have been working on pairing -ng with other vowels, too.  The trickiest one for us to spell is -ang, like in "hang," where the a sounds more nasal and becomes almost a long a sound.

Check out these videos to review the -ng digraph and practice reading -ng words:
