About this resource
Description
This beginning digraphs matching worksheet helps first graders hear and name the two-letter sounds at the start of a word. A digraph is two letters that team up to make one new sound, like the ch in cheese or the sh in shovel. Learning to spot ch, sh, th, wh and ph at the beginning of a word is a big step toward reading and spelling new words with confidence.
This beginning digraphs matching worksheet has two parts. In Part A, children look at five colorful pictures, say each picture name out loud, and draw a line to its beginning sound. In Part B, they write the missing digraph in a box to finish four words. Use it as a 1st grade beginning sounds worksheet for phonics centers, morning work, small groups, homework, or a quick check after a digraph lesson.
What’s Included
- Part A: match five pictures (whistle, cheese, thumb, phone, shovel) to the beginning digraphs ch, ph, sh, th and wh
- Part B: write the beginning digraph to complete four words
- Large, clear pictures and letter pills sized for young readers
- A full answer key on page 2
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, saying each picture name and listening for the first sound builds strong phonemic awareness. Second, matching the sound to its two letters connects what children hear to what they see in print. Third, writing the digraph in Part B moves students from recognizing the sound to spelling it on their own.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, practice each digraph sound together and think of one more word for each. Invite children to find other things around the room that start with ch, sh, th or wh. After finishing the page, have students read the four completed words aloud and use one of them in a sentence. You can also cut the pictures apart for a hands-on sorting game.
