Digraphs and Trigraphs Practice

Read each word carefully. A digraph is two letters making one sound; a trigraph is three letters making one sound. Find the letter team and use it to solve each challenge.

The lost lunchbox

At the beach, Beth found a lunchbox beside a bright shell. She took it to the shop, where a sign said, “Ring the bell if this is yours.” A note inside read: “I left it here after the night match. Please bring it home.” Beth heard a phone ring and soon a cheerful child came to collect it.

1.In the passage, find one word containing each digraph: sh, ch, th, ng and ph. Write the word and circle the two letters that make one sound.
2.Find one word in the passage containing each trigraph: igh, tch and ear. Write each word and underline the three-letter team.
3.Which word contains a three-letter team that makes one sound?
  • night (igh)
  • shop (sh)
  • ring (ng)
4.Match each letter team to the word that contains it.
  • tch
  • air
  • ore
  • ck
  • chair
  • duck
  • shore
  • catch
5.Label each letter team D for digraph or T for trigraph: wh, air, ck, igh, th, tch.
6.Choose the correct letter team from the brackets to finish each word. Use the clue in parentheses: fi__ (sh/ch), a game with a ball—ma__ (tch/ch), n__t (igh/air), and an animal that quacks—du__ (ck/ng).
7.In the word “ship”, sh is a digraph because two letters work together to represent one sound.
