Digraphs Phonics Worksheets for 1st Grade

What your child practices

Digraphs gets a page by page workout here: 12 worksheets for 1st grade (Grade 1 in Canada) and 120 questions of phonics practice. The pages go in a set order, so each one builds on what your child just practiced. Strong letter skills in the early grades free up a child's attention for reading and writing ideas, so steady, short practice pays off for years. The set runs from Digraph sh: Picture Match to Digraphs Mix: sh, ch, th, and wh: Find and Build, one skill per sheet. Each sheet supports Common Core RF.1.3a, covering phonics and decoding words. Answer keys sit on page 2 of each PDF, so checking takes seconds. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

• Use a thick pencil or crayon for little hands, and trace with a finger first.
• Practice the same letters on a whiteboard or in sand for variety.
• Say the letter or sound aloud each time your child writes it.
