English
This Grade 3 English worksheet helps students identify and use consonant digraphs—two consonants that combine to make one sound. Across 23 questions, students complete 13 multiple-choice items and 10 fill-in-the-blank tasks that define consonant digraphs, locate them in words such as dish, wheat, and mouth, and select correctly spelled words including laugh, knock, whisper, bright, wrong, and shake. Students then apply the skill by supplying missing digraphs in words such as catch, English, trophy, and watch, as well as unscrambling letters to spell bread correctly. The progression from recognition to spelling gives teachers a focused way to check whether students can identify digraphs in context and use them accurately in written words. This free printable worksheet is designed for Grade 3 English instruction, independent practice, literacy centers, homework, or review, and includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

This Grade 3 English worksheet teaches students to recognize consonant digraphs as two consonants making one sound and identify them in words such as dish, wheat, and mouth. Its 13 multiple-choice and 10 fill-in-the-blank questions then move students into spelling application by choosing correctly spelled words, adding missing digraphs, and unscrambling letters to form bread.
Introduce the definition of a consonant digraph, then model how to locate the digraph in a word such as dish, wheat, or mouth without being distracted by neighboring letter pairs. Have students complete the multiple-choice identification and spelling items first, followed by the missing-digraph prompts for catch, English, trophy, and watch; review each answer by asking which two consonants work together to represent one sound.
Students may choose any adjacent letter pair instead of identifying the consonant pair that functions as the digraph, such as selecting di or is rather than sh in dish. In the spelling sections, watch for omitted letters or incorrect placements in catch, English, trophy, and watch, and check that students use all the jumbled letters when forming bread.
