A digraph blend is when two consonants are paired together to create a sound that blends them together. A couple of English examples are "ch" and "th."
The "sc" in "scale" is considered a digraph because the two letters, "s" and "c," combine to represent one sound (/sk/). A blend consists of two or more consonants that each keep their individual sounds, such as "st" in "stop."
I'm not 100% sure and am happy to be corrected, but this is my understanding of it: Blends are combinations of consonants where you can still hear the two separate sounds, eg. br, cr, pl. This seems counterintuitive to me, as 'blend' implies that you mixing something together so that it is indistinguishable, but apparently that's what a blend is. Digraphs are where two letters are used to represent a single sound - sh, th, wh, ch.
You can use the word "digraph" in a sentence like this: "A digraph is a combination of two letters representing one sound, such as 'sh' in 'ship'."
Two consonants that blend together and lose their own individual sounds and create a new unique sound. for example: ch, sh, th chair, shape, though
