About the Consonant Digraphs Worksheet

Consonant Digraphs is an educational phonics activity that teaches students about two-letter combinations that make a single sound. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Consonant Digraphs helps students understand and practice common digraphs (Br, Ch, Fr, Gl, Sh, Sk, Sn, St) through word completion exercises. The worksheet includes nine partially completed words with corresponding illustrations, making it easier for students to identify the correct digraph needed to complete each word.

The worksheet features a clear, organized layout with colorful illustrations that provide visual cues for each word. Students must select from eight different digraphs to complete words like "chair," "shark," and "flower." The first example is completed as a guide, demonstrating how to add the appropriate digraph at the beginning of each word. The combination of visual aids and word-building exercises helps students develop their phonemic awareness while strengthening their understanding of how letter combinations work together to create different sounds.
