Week 10, lesson 2 Diving for Digraphs and Trigraphs activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 -Worksheet

The "Diving for Digraphs and Trigraphs" worksheet is an engaging phonics activity designed for children learning about complex letter sounds in Phase 5, Unit 2 of their literacy development. In this underwater-themed task, students are asked to hunt for the missing digraphs and trigraphs—combinations of two or three letters that make a single sound—to complete a series of partially spelled words. The challenge lies beneath the 'sea' of options provided, where learners must select the correct letter groups to fill in the blanks of words like "br_d" and "s_donk_".

As part of the exercise, children are encouraged to apply their phonetic knowledge to identify the right sounds from the choices given, such as "ey", "ear", and "ea". For example, they must determine whether "br_d" should be completed with "ea" to form "bread" or another combination to make a different word. This worksheet not only helps in reinforcing the understanding of digraphs and trigraphs but also aids in expanding vocabulary and improving spelling. It's a playful yet educational way to dive deeper into the world of phonics.
