About this resource
Description
A digraph is two letters that work together to make one new sound, and the beginning digraphs ch, sh and wh start many of the first words a child learns to read and spell. The Beginning Digraphs Pictures Worksheet asks first graders to look at a picture, say the word out loud, listen closely to the very first sound, and write the two letters that make it. Because this beginning digraphs pictures worksheet starts from pictures instead of print, a child has to hear the digraph before writing it.
The page holds six picture cards in a clean grid. Each card shows one object with the end of its word already printed, so the child writes ch, sh or wh in the blank to begin the word, then copies the whole word onto the line below. Shell, cheese, wheel, shoe, whistle and chair give two words for each digraph, and no two cards in a row share an answer, so the page cannot be finished by guessing a pattern. A full answer key is printed on the second page, which makes this 1st grade beginning sounds worksheet quick to check and easy to use for centers, independent work or homework.
What Is Included
- A one-page printable worksheet with a complete answer key
- Six picture cards covering the beginning digraphs ch, sh and wh
- A blank sized for two letters and a writing line for the whole word
- Bright, bold clipart that names one object and nothing else
Why It Helps Kids
- Saying each picture name out loud builds phonemic awareness of the first sound in a word.
- Writing the two letters together teaches children that a digraph makes one sound, not two.
- Copying the whole word links the sound, the spelling and the picture, which supports both reading and spelling.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, say ship, chip and whip together and ask your child what sound changes at the start. After the page is done, have students find one more object in the room that begins with each digraph and add it to a class chart. Pair this sheet with an ending digraphs page so children practice hearing digraphs at both ends of a word.
