Blends and Digraphs - Activity sheets

Worksheets for common blends and digraphs.

Activities:
♦ write your name.
♦ colour the blend.
♦ trace and write the blend.
♦ find the blend 4 times and colour the circle.
♦ colour the picture.
♦ write the blend to make 4 words.
♦ write the 4 words in the letter boxes.

There is also an empty box in the bottom left corner. This is so you can design an activity for your students. For example:
• draw a picture of a word that has the blend.
• hunt for a word around the classroom (in a book, on the wall, etc) that has the blend and write it.
• write the blend as many times as you can.
• write the blend in fancy lettering.
• write a sentence using a word that has the blend.

Included:
♦ 40 worksheets
♦ Teacher notes (including a resource to help teach the ‘letter boxes’).

♦ Each worksheet is the same format.
♦ Made on A4 size paper.
♦ Made with the NZ Basic Script font so they are especially suitable for New Zealand classrooms.
