Dog Digraph Word Sort

This activity is a hit with my kiddos! We even had a fun time naming the digraph dogs!

We named them- Jack, the “ck” dog, Chum, the “ch” dog, Sheila, the “sh” dog for even more fun to this digraph game!

Prep Work

Laminate the (free) printable sheets to make it reusable, then cut out the dog cards and the word bones.

TIPS: Make two sets for a larger class. You might also want to use a small basket or grab bag for little hands to “pull out” the digraphs and then place them on their doggie match!

How to use the Digraph Dogs

Feed the dogs the correct bones! Simply “feed the dogs”/sort the bones to match the correct dog.

Sheila, the dog will only eat bones with “sh” words like shop, shoe, shell and ship.

This activity can be an individual, independent literacy center.

This requires visual and auditory discrimination skills, a good activity to practice those skills.

Two Player Game

You might even play a game with a friend or two.

Divide the dog cards between the players.

Place all the bones face down in the middle. Take turns to pick up a bone, read the word and see if it fits with your dogs.

If it does, keep it, if not, place it back in the middle. The player that “feeds” all his/her dogs all four bones, wins!

Extension Activity

You could make silly sentences trying to use all, or most, OR add your own, of the same digraphs.

For example: Jack wants to lick and suck the rock but his neck got stuck!

These sentences can be an oral activity or a writing activity for creative writing.

Practicing digraph knowledge in different ways can help students to remember how to properly read them in text.
