Week 10, lesson 4 Diving for Diagraphs writing activity - Phonics Phase 3, - Worksheet

In the "Diving for Digraphs" activity, part of a phonics lesson for young learners, children are invited to embark on an underwater adventure to discover and collect digraphs. Digraphs are pairs of letters that come together to create a single sound. The worksheet presents a playful scenario where students must 'dive' into an imaginary sea to find the missing digraphs that will complete a set of partially spelled words. The words, represented with missing letters, are accompanied by illustrations to provide context and aid in word recognition.

The worksheet includes a selection of digraphs placed 'under the sea', which children must choose from to correctly fill in the gaps in the words provided. Examples of the words on the worksheet are 'z_', 'sh_p', 'j_p', and 'st_l', with options for digraphs such as 'oo' and 'ee' available to complete the words. This activity is designed to help children reinforce their understanding of digraphs and improve their ability to blend sounds together to form words. It is a hands-on and engaging way to practice phonics, crucial for developing reading and writing skills in the early stages of learning.
