Description
The gh digraph is one of the trickiest spellings a young reader ever meets, because those two letters can go silent, hide inside a long vowel, or turn into an /f/ sound at the end of a word. This Hugh Laughs GH Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet hands first graders a short, funny story that is packed with gh words, so they meet the pattern inside real sentences instead of on a flashcard. Students read about a boy named Hugh whose laugh is loud and bright, notice how laugh, high, tough, and cough all share the same two letters, and then answer questions that prove they understood the story.
Page one holds the illustrated story Hugh Laughs in large, easy-to-track print inside a tinted passage panel. Page two gives students five multiple-choice questions in fill-in-the-bubble format, and page three is the answer key. Read the story aloud together first, then let students reread it on their own before they bubble their answers. This hugh laughs gh phonics stories reading comprehension worksheet works just as well as a guided-reading warm-up, a phonics center rotation, a partner-reading task, or a quick end-of-week check.
What’s Included
- One illustrated gh phonics story, Hugh Laughs, written and measured at a first grade reading level
- Five multiple-choice reading comprehension questions with fill-in-the-bubble answer choices
- A complete answer key on its own page
- A print-ready, black-and-white-friendly PDF sized for letter paper
There are three reasons this first grade gh digraph worksheet helps. First, it pairs decoding with meaning, so students are not just sounding out gh words but using them to follow a story. Second, the passage is short enough to reread two or three times in one sitting, which is exactly how fluency is built. Third, the bubble-style questions look like the ones students will see on a real reading assessment, so the format itself stops being a surprise.
Teachers and parents can stretch the page further. Ask students to underline every gh word they can find, then sort them by the sound gh makes. Have partners take turns reading the story with a different laugh each time. At home, challenge your child to retell what happened to Hugh and Bryce in their own words before checking the answer key together.
