Phonics Practice for Grade 2: Consonant Blends and Digraphs
Name:
Date:
Today I am practising: Reading and spelling words with consonant blends and digraphs.
1
Read each word and circle the blend: stop, grab, flat, trip. Write the two letters that start each word.
2
Sort these words into two lists, sh words and ch words: ship, chin, shop, chop, shell, chest.
3
Fill in the missing digraph: _oe (a shoe), _air (a chair), _ish (a fish), _eese (a food).
4
Write one sentence using two words with blends, such as stop and grab.
5
Which word has a blend at the end: hand, ring, jump, milk? Name the two letters.
6
Read this short list aloud: brush, splash, crunch, shrimp. Then write the three words you found hardest.
- Point out that blends keep both sounds while digraphs make one new sound, then check spelling together.
