Week 3, lesson 3 Diving for Digraphs - Phonics Phase 5, unit 1 - Worksheet

In the 'Diving for Digraphs' worksheet, part of Phonics Phase 5, Unit 1, students embark on an underwater adventure to enhance their understanding of digraphs. A digraph is a combination of two letters that create a single sound, and recognising these is an essential skill in developing reading fluency. The task set before the children is to find and collect the missing digraphs from a selection provided at the bottom of the sea-themed page. These digraphs are crucial to complete a series of partially written words, encouraging students to apply their phonics knowledge in a fun and interactive way.

The worksheet presents a few examples of words with missing digraphs, such as "m_t" and "l_f cr_on", where students must determine the correct digraphs to fill in the blanks. The digraph options available include "ea" and "ay", among others. This activity not only helps in reinforcing the concept of digraphs but also aids in vocabulary building. Additionally, the worksheet includes a bonus revision section, providing an excellent opportunity for students to review and consolidate their learning. This engaging approach to phonics helps to ensure that learning to read is both effective and enjoyable for children.
