The trigraphs included in this set are scr, shr, spl, spr, squ, str and thr.

You will find words such as square, scratch, splash and throat.

Practice with Beginning Trigraph Words

Each child can pick a favorite story and you can make a list of the words you find. For a challenge, students can also search for words with trigraphs in the middle or the end of words.

This will be an easy activity to add to a phonics lesson during a virtual class meetings.
