Let’s Search and Find Objects that Contain Consonant Digraphs

Teaching consonant digraphs to young students is crucial in developing their phonemic awareness and reading skills. An effective resource in this endeavor is this pack of worksheets designed by a teacher to engage students in a hands-on and visually stimulating manner. The worksheets employ an interactive approach where students are tasked with searching for and coloring objects that contain specific consonant digraphs in their names.

As they search for objects like “whale,” “moth,” or “fish,” students not only recognize these digraphs in context but also connect the written symbols to the corresponding sounds.

Consonant digraphs covered in these worksheets include:

• Wr
• Wh
• Th
• Sh
• Ch
• Ph
• Ck
• Ng
• Kn

How to Use This Set of Phonics Worksheets

This pack of search-and-find worksheets can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom; here are some suggestions:

• Use as follow-up practice once each consonant digraph has been introduced to your class. 
• Send home a worksheet each week for homework practise.
• Use as a whole-class warm-up activity by projecting onto a whiteboard and having students take turns finding images that contain each consonant digraph.
• Use as an activity during English rotations.
