Using these beginning digraph flashcards

You will find these beginning digraph flashcards in four formats.

The download includes:

each digraph on a card
a picture for each digraph on a card
a digraph next to a picture on a card
a word containing the digraph on a card

Some ideas for using these cards include:

Begin with the cards containing the digraph and picture on one card. Continue by saying the name of the picture and then saying the digraph sound.

Have your child name the picture on the card. They can then identify the digraph they hear at the beginning. You might then have your child write the letters on a whiteboard so that they are matching the letters with the sound.

Once your child has mastered this task, they can try reading the digraph without the picture clues. You might ask them to make a list of words they know beginning with the digraphs.

These cards can also be used as a matching activity. Have your child match the digraph letters with the picture. Extend the activity by playing a go fish style game or a memory game with these cards.
