During phonics practice, students often need repeated opportunities to decode and spell words with targeted patterns in meaningful contexts. This set of phonics worksheets provides focused practice with air, ear, are and aw patterns, along with additional vowel patterns, blends, digraphs and trigraphs.

Each of the 10 worksheets combines spelling, word decoding and word analysis with a decodable reading passage. Students apply the target sound-symbol correspondence in words, read the passage, and draw a picture to show comprehension. The word-building activities also support morphology word study by having students build words using letters, blends, digraphs and trigraphs.

What's Included:

·       10 printable phonics worksheets

·       Decodable reading passage on every worksheet

·       Drawing space for students to show comprehension

·       Morphology word-building activities

·       Practice with aw, ew, ou /u/, air, are, ear, eer, ore, -dge and -tch

These phonics activities can be used for independent practice, small-group instruction, intervention, homework or phonics review. They offer a practical way for students to practise spelling and applying targeted patterns while also reading connected, decodable text.

The worksheets are suitable for 3rd grade learners and can also support 2nd-3rd grade phonics review. Use individual pages to reinforce a recently taught pattern, or work through the set as ongoing spelling and decoding practice. The PDF digital download is ready to print and use in literacy lessons.
