Week 8, lesson 4 Diving for Diagraphs writing activity - Phonics Phase 3, - Worksheet

The 'Diving for Digraphs' activity is a fun and interactive phonics exercise from the All Aboard Phonics programme, specifically designed for children in Phase 3 of their phonics learning. In this underwater-themed worksheet, children are presented with a series of incomplete words, each missing a vital digraph. A digraph is a combination of two letters that together make one sound. The task for the young learners is to 'dive' into the selection of digraphs provided and find the correct ones to fill in the blanks and complete the words correctly.

For example, the worksheet presents the incomplete word 'f_t', and children must select the appropriate digraph from options like 'ee', 'ar', and others that are 'under the sea' on the worksheet. They might choose 'ee' to complete the word 'feet' or 'ar' to form 'fart'. Other sample words to be completed include 'coff_', 'sh_k', and '_tist', challenging students to apply their knowledge of digraphs such as 'ee' and 'ar' to form complete words. This activity is scheduled for Week 8, Day 4, and is a practical tool for reinforcing the understanding of digraphs in written English.
