digraphsConsonants ‘stick together’ to form one

sound, even though there are two letters. That is why they are on one card. They

are not separated.

quQ is the chicken letter- it refuses to go anywhere without its friend, u. It is never in a word alone. The u in this situation has no vowel sound. Qu is a digraph as well.
