Week 9, lesson 4 Diving for Diagraphs writing activity - Phonics Phase 3, - Worksheet

In this engaging worksheet from Week 9, Day 4 of a Phonics Phase 3 program, young learners embark on an underwater adventure titled 'Diving for Digraphs'. The objective is to help students recognise and use digraphs—pairs of letters that create a single sound—to complete a series of partially spelled words. The worksheet provides a fun and interactive way for children to practice their phonics skills by 'diving' into an illustrated underwater scene to 'collect' the correct digraphs from a selection provided.

The words on the worksheet appear with gaps where the digraphs should be, and it is up to the students to determine which ones fit correctly to complete the words. For example, they will find the missing parts to complete words like 'r_d', 'summ_ c_t', and 'lett_', selecting from digraphs such as 'oa' and 'er', which are found 'under the sea'. This activity not only reinforces their understanding of digraphs but also enhances their ability to blend sounds together to form complete words, an essential skill in early reading development.
