Rocket Digraphs – Two Letters, One Sound! | Phase 3 Phonics Activities | EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 Catch-Up

Blast off into phonics with Rocket Digraphs, a colourful space-themed phonics workbook designed to help children recognise, read, blend and write words containing the digraphs sh, ch, th, ng and nk.

Children become phonics astronauts as they complete a series of engaging missions. Activities include identifying digraphs in words, matching words to pictures, sorting words by their sounds, completing missing digraphs and using phoneme frames to practise segmenting and spelling. Each mission provides opportunities to develop phonemic awareness, decoding confidence and early writing skills.

The workbook also introduces the difference between the voiced and unvoiced th sounds through a child-friendly activity. Children are encouraged to listen carefully, say words aloud and recognise how two letters can work together to represent one sound.

As children progress through the missions, they apply their phonics knowledge through sentence reading, picture-based writing tasks and independent word-building challenges. A mini assessment helps teachers identify areas of confidence and any sounds requiring further practice, while the included teacher answer key supports quick marking and feedback.

Ideal for Reception and Year 1 phonics lessons, this resource can also be used for Year 2 catch-up interventions, small-group teaching, independent activities, morning work and additional phonics practice at home.

With colourful rocket illustrations, clear instructions and a consistent space-themed design, Rocket Digraphs makes phonics practice engaging and accessible for young learners.
