  • Activity 1 / The /wh/ Sound Worksheet

    preview

    Phonetics sounds can be joined together to make a new sound. When two or more consonants are joined together and form a new sound, they are called a digraph. For example, the wh digraph forms the /wh/ sound. Give your kids some examples of more words that have the /wh/ sound, like ‘whale’, ‘when’, and ‘why’. Now, ask them to name each of the pictures in the worksheet. Help them trace the dotted lines in this tracing sheet to the images that begin in the /wh/ sound, such as the word ‘what’.

Look at this worksheet with your little ones. Can they tell you what pictures are in this printable pdf? Help them check the digraph that is missing from all of the words.

Great for kids
Our 7 years old daughter loves reading activities and every off-line game Kids Academy offers. This is a very good app, I highly recommend it!

Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
