This challenging worksheet pushes phonics further with multiple-choice items on the ending /ng/ sound in 'ring' (matched by 'song'), the two vowels in 'apple', the GR blend in 'grab', and the /th/ digraph at the start of 'thumb'. Fill-in-the-blank prompts then capture the CL blend in 'clap', the ST blend in 'stop', the SH ending in 'wish', the short U in 'fun', and the way Q teams with U to make the /kw/ sound.
Mastering blends and digraphs at this level prepares first graders for the longer, more complex words they will decode in second grade.
