Overview:

This spelling worksheet focuses on words with an initial digraph (ch, ph, sh, th, wh). Designed for year 1 students.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise and spell words with initial digraphs such as ‘ch’, ‘ph’, ‘sh’, ‘th’, and ‘wh’.
• Identify pictures and match them with the correct initial digraph.
• Create new words that begin with the given digraphs.

How the Activity Works:

This worksheet focuses on words with the initial digraphs ‘ch’, ‘ph’, ‘sh’, ‘th’, and ‘wh’. Students complete activities such as filling in missing letters to complete words, matching pictures to words with the correct initial digraph, and unjumbling words. Students are also encouraged to think of other words starting with the same digraphs and either draw or write them. These tasks reinforce their understanding and use of initial digraphs in different contexts.
