What consonant digraphs are
These preschool and kindergarten consonant worksheets help children notice that two letters can work together to make one sound. Children practise common phonics digraphs such as sh, ch, th, wh, and ck in simple spoken and printed words.
The printable activities include picture matching, sound sorting, tracing, coloring, word reading, and early spelling tasks. Each page keeps the focus on listening for the sound, connecting it to the letter team, and using it in familiar words.
A consonant digraph is a pair of letters that represents one sound. In words such as ship, chip, thin, whale, and duck, the letters work as a team rather than as two separate sounds. These worksheets sit within the Preschool and Kindergarten > Consonants > Phonics Digraphs path, so the emphasis is on early sound awareness and print connection.
How the practice builds
Children begin by hearing the target sound in pictures and spoken words. They then match the sound to the printed digraph, trace the letters, read short words, and complete simple spelling choices. This progression supports both pre-readers who need oral practice and kindergarten readers who are ready to decode short words.
A simple parent routine
Choose one digraph at a time, such as sh. Say three words aloud: ship, sun, shell. Ask your child to give a thumbs-up when they hear /sh/. Then point to the letters sh, trace them with a finger, and read a few worksheet words together. End by asking your child to find one object or picture that begins with the same sound.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for phonics centers, small-group review, morning work, or quick checks after a mini-lesson. Sorting pages work well with picture cards, while tracing and fill-in activities help children connect the sound to letter formation and spelling. The format also makes it easy to revisit one digraph before introducing another.
Common errors to watch for
Many children try to sound out each letter separately, such as saying /s/ /h/ instead of /sh/. Others confuse similar digraphs, especially ch and sh, or miss ck at the end of words. Encourage children to cover the rest of the word, spot the two-letter team, and say the team sound first.

Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets use clear pictures, uncluttered directions, and repeated examples so children can focus on the sound-letter connection. Child-friendly strategy: “Find the letter team, say its one sound, then read the whole word.” This gives young learners a steady routine for tackling new digraph words.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Which digraphs are practised in these worksheets?
The activities focus on common consonant digraphs children meet early, including sh, ch, th, wh, and ck, with practice in listening, matching, tracing, and reading.
Are these worksheets better for preschool or kindergarten?
They can support both. Preschool children can use the picture and listening tasks, while kindergarten children can add tracing, word reading, and simple spelling practice.
How do I explain a digraph to a young child?
Say, “These two letters are a team. They make one sound together.” Then show a familiar example such as sh in ship or ch in chip.
What if my child says both letter sounds separately?
Point to the two letters together, cover the rest of the word, and practise saying only the team sound first. Then blend that sound with the rest of the word.
Can these pages be used in phonics centers?
Yes. The sorting, matching, tracing, and word activities are suitable for independent or small-group phonics centers after children have been introduced to the target digraph.
