Digraphs Worksheets

About this resource

Digraphs are the two letters that make one new sound — sh, ch, wh, ck, ng, th — and a child who can only

circle them never gets to build or write them. This is a full digraph worksheet kit: five different ways

to practice the same six digraphs, thirteen pictured words, and the record-keeping around them. Four of

the five formats are pencil work; only the fifth needs scissors and glue.

EVERYTHING INSIDE (27 pages)

• 10 student practice pages in 5 formats across 2 groups of three digraphs each (Beginning: sh, ch, wh;

Ending: ck, ng, th)

• 1 Digraph Helper page: the rule (two letters, one sound) with four example words and a say-it-slowly,

start-or-end check

• 13 pictured words: sh shark, sheep; ch chair, cheese, chick; wh whale, wheel; ck duck, clock, rock;

ng ring, wing; th tooth

• 1 answer key, generated from the same data as every page
• 1 tracker (6 digraphs, 5 formats each), 1 class progress grid
• 1 team note page and 1 home page (three draw-it-and-write-it boxes)
• 1 filled example (an invented student), 1 phrase bank (16 starters), 1 binder cover, and 6 divider

tabs with a spine label to cut out

• Start Here, a how-to-read-a-page page, a contents page that gives every page number, and a picture key

The Five Formats, Easiest To Hardest

1. Sort the Pictures (starting) — say each picture, write its number under the digraph you hear, in a

column for each of the group's three digraphs.

2. Match the Digraph (starting) — say each picture, draw a line to its digraph card.

3. Cut and Glue (starting, hands-on) — cut out the group's pictures and glue each one under its digraph;

the same recognition skill as Sort and Match, with scissors and glue for a change of pace.

4. Build the Word (building) — the word is printed and only the digraph itself, start or end, is blank.

5. Write the Word (ready for more) — picture only, empty boxes, and a word bank to check with.

Every digraph splits into one of two groups of three, so no practice page ever has more than three

categories to sort, match or glue into.

Built For The Child Holding The Page

A big "My name" line, one short instruction with a picture, large rounded letters, big boxes with room to

write, and dots (not words) to show which level a page is. Nothing on a student page is written for an

adult.

Pictures That Name Their Word

Every word and codepoint is reused, read-only, from this store's own Digraph and Blend Picture Worksheets

bank, where each one was already checked against two independent picture sets (Google Noto Emoji and

Microsoft Fluent Emoji High Contrast) and against that pack's live product. Nothing here is a new

judgment call about whether a picture names its word.

Digraphs Cut and Paste, 3 Levels is one sort at three difficulty levels. Digraph and Blend Picture

Worksheets is Circle It and Write It, digraphs and blends together, no cutting. This pack covers one

skill — digraphs only — five different ways: sort, match, cut-and-glue, build and write.

Type In, Or Print

The name and date lines, the tracker, the class grid, the team note and the home page are type-in fields

in any PDF reader. The letters, numbers and lines a student writes, circles or draws are pencil work; the

Cut and Glue pages are scissors and glue. This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint

file.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first grade classrooms, self-contained and resource rooms, and any teacher working with

an older student who still needs digraphs. The home page sends the same job to a family; the team note

hands off what changed since the last meeting.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

Digraph practice with the record-keeping around it. It is not a probe, a goal bank or a score sheet, not

a reading assessment, and not a claim about any student's age or rate of progress.
