Digraphs Printables

Free printable Digraphs templates for teaching phonics.

Digraph worksheets help children practise two letters that work together to represent one sound, such as sh, ch, th, and ph. Digraphs can be challenging because children must recognise the letter pair as a single sound pattern rather than simply treating each letter separately. Printable sorting, matching, reading, and spelling activities give learners repeated exposure to these patterns.

These worksheets can be used to introduce a new digraph, reinforce a lesson, or provide additional reading and spelling practice. Children can identify digraphs in words, complete missing letters, sort words by sound, match words with pictures, and read short sentences. Once learners are comfortable with individual letter sounds and basic blending, digraph practice provides a useful next step toward more advanced decoding. Pair with letter sounds worksheets, Blending Worksheets, CVC Words Worksheets, Reading Practice Worksheets, blends worksheets, Phonics Activities, phonics flashcards, and phonics posters from the phonics worksheets hub.
