Student Practice Activities for Consonant Digraphs

Students need lots of opportunities to practice reading and spelling consonant digraphs so that they can build accuracy and automaticity on the way to fluent reading. We've included free printable student practice activities below. Please download and share them with your colleagues!

Before your students begin the activities, make sure that they understand how to complete them. You can model the activities in a whole group setting or in a small group.

Keep an eye out for students who may need you to step in and scaffold.

Read Sheets

Use these read sheets to practice the new phonics pattern you’ve taught. You’ll want to first introduce these sheets in whole or small groups. After students have read them with guidance from the teacher, they can use them to practice reading independently at school or home. Start with the read sheets with words, then move on to those with words, phrases, and sentences.
