Phonics Worksheets

These two and three tiered differentiated phonics worksheets address all the digraphs and trigraphs of sounds taught to the end of Stage 1.
Notebooks for Set 3 and 4 are also included.
They can be used as an independent activity after whole class instruction or as an independent literacy group activity.
The worksheets contain a phonics, vocabulary, handwriting and writing component. Students need to be introduced to the digraph and vocabulary containing the sound. They can then complete the worksheet by matching the vocab to the corresponding image and then write the word in the ‘word shape’ box. Students form the letters that represent the sound in a large ‘rainbow writing’ format and a smaller format on the lines provided. The final line on the worksheet is space for students to use the vocabulary to write a simple sentence.
The worksheets are differentiated. The support worksheet does not require students to engage in the more controlled fine motor handwriting on the lines. Students could be extended by adding more words containing the sound around the ‘rainbow writing’.
