Phonics Games for Digraphs, Fluency and Comprehension: The Next Step for Growing Readers
Your students are reading CVC words. They know their letter sounds. They’re building confidence.
Now what?
The next step is moving into more complex phonics patterns — digraphs like sh, ch, th, wh — and starting to read connected text with fluency and understanding.
That’s exactly where the Phonics Games for Digraphs, Fluency & Comprehension Set picks up.
What’s in the Set?
This set of 6 hands-on phonics games helps beginning readers practice digraphs, sight words, sentence reading, fluency, and comprehension through engaging literacy activities grounded in the Science of Reading.
I Spy Digraph Words
Students search for and identify digraph words in a fun, game-based format. Builds digraph recognition in a low-pressure, high-engagement activity.
Sight Word Games
Targeted practice on high-frequency words that supports fluency in connected text. Students who know their sight words can focus their decoding energy on the harder words.
Sentence Builder
Students build sentences from word cards — applying their phonics knowledge in connected text and developing an understanding of sentence structure and meaning.
Little Decodable Stories
Short, decodable texts that give students practice reading connected text with digraphs and sight words. The bridge between isolated phonics practice and real reading.
I Have, Who Has?
The classic whole-group game adapted for digraphs and sight words. Every student stays engaged because they’re always listening for their card to be called.

Why This Is the Right Next Step
Once students have mastered CVC words, digraphs are the natural next phonics challenge. They’re also one of the most common stumbling blocks — because students who have learned that each letter makes one sound suddenly encounter two letters making one sound together.
Explicit, repeated practice with digraphs — in games, in sentences, in connected text — is what helps students make that leap confidently.
