Spelling List 9: Digraphs Ph, Gh, Ch Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

List 9 is a 3rd grade spelling list (Grade 3 in Canada) built around digraphs ph, gh, ch, with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. Inside you will find Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.3.2f, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. 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

• Have your child mark the part of each word that is tricky, then practice just that part.
• Spread the sheets across the week: one a day works better than all at once.
• Finish the week with a short spelling test using the same words in a new order.
