Give your child the next step after blends. Digraphs & Trigraphs is a 17-page printable packet that teaches letters that team up to make one sound: two letters in a digraph, like the sh in ship or the ck in duck, and three in a trigraph, like the tch in catch or the dge in bridge.
What's Included
- 14 word list & sentence practice pages
- Five digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh, ck) and two trigraphs (tch, dge)
- Decodable sentences with a picture-matching activity
- A welcome page explaining the method and how to use the packet
- Instant digital download (PDF), print at home or in the classroom
Why It Works
Each digraph and trigraph gets two pages: first a word list (fill in the missing letters, blend the sounds, read the word), then decodable sentences (circle the target sound, match each sentence to its picture, read it 3 times). Every word and sentence is decodable at this stage of reading, so your child sounds it out instead of guessing.
How to Use It
- Fill in the target letters and blend the sounds
- Read each sentence and circle the words with the target sound
- Match the sentence to its picture
Want hands-on practice too? ch, sh, th and wh are taught in The Early Reader Pack, and ck, tch and dge each have their own card in The Reader Pack.
