Give children practice reading digraphs in sentences with this printable reading and matching activity.

Each pyramid starts with one word and adds another on each line until learners can read the complete sentence. They then choose the matching picture, encouraging them to think about the meaning of what they have read.

What’s included:

• 50 reading pyramid cards: 10 each for sh, ch, th, ck and ng.
• A5-sized reading cards, with two cards per A4 page.
• Separate matching picture cards.
• Instructions and learning outcomes.

The activity provides practice in recognising digraphs, blending sounds to read words, developing reading fluency and understanding sentences.

Designed for Grade 1 and Grade 2 learners who have been introduced to the focus sounds. Some sentences also include consonant blends and familiar common words.

Use the cards for literacy centres, small-group reading, individual practice or reading at home. Print, cut out and laminate if you would like to reuse them.
