Middle and End Sounds - ck, ff, ll, ss - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help young learners identify and practice middle and end sounds in words, specifically focusing on the consonant digraphs 'ck', 'ff', 'll', and 'ss'. These digraphs are pairs of letters that together make a single sound, and they often appear at the end of English words, though 'ck' can also be found in the middle of words. The worksheet presents a series of these digraphs in a list format, and the task for the students is to circle the correct sound as it appears in the middle or at the end of words they are familiar with.

The activity is structured to reinforce phonemic awareness, an essential skill in early reading development, by providing repetitive practice in a simple and clear layout. Each line of the worksheet presents a different combination of the four digraphs, allowing students to focus on one set of sounds at a time. By engaging with this exercise, students will become more adept at recognizing these common digraphs, which will in turn aid in their reading fluency and spelling accuracy. The worksheet is a practical resource for teachers to use in the classroom to support literacy fundamentals.
