Are you looking for no-prep Consonant Digraph word games to consolidate early phonics skills such as blending and segmenting of consonant digraph words, and swapping beginning, middle and ending sounds in consonant digraph words? These word chains (otherwise known as word ladders) are a great way to build phonics knowledge in second and third grade classrooms, by getting students to change beginning, middle and end sounds of consonant digraph words to build new words.
Three sets are included:
LL, SS, CK, FF, ZZ
CH, TH, SH, WH
NG, QU and X
Over 30 different word chain mats are included for consonant digraph words. Students will need to swap sounds at the beginning, middle and end of the words.
Answer cards are also included
- print 4 or 6 to a page, so that students can self-check or peer-check their work.
- The nature of word chain activities is also self-checking, as students will need to change the correct letter in order for the word chain to work.
