Digraphs for Kids: 1,000+ Practice Words & a Points-Based Digraph Builder Game
A digraph is two letters that team up to make just one brand-new sound — say "sh" and you hear one sound, not an /s/ and a /h/. That's the opposite of a blend, where both letter-sounds stay audible (see our Blends post, tab above). Below is a complete, teacher-ready digraph word bank with tap-to-hear audio on every word, plus the Byrugani Digraph Builder — a drag-and-drop game with points, streaks, badges and hints. Everything here is free to use, play, and print.
Digraphs vs. Blends — the one mix-up to avoid
In a digraph like "ch," "sh," or "th," two letters combine into one brand-new sound — you can't hear the two letters separately. In a blend like "bl" or "str," each letter keeps its own sound. Some digraphs are silent-letter pairs too — the k in "knee" and the w in "write" are there but never spoken. Keep this distinction front and center; it's the most common digraph mix-up young readers make.
