ow Digraph
Teaching the ow digraph just got easier with this engaging and free worksheet created especially for Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. The ow Digraph worksheet is perfect for phonics lessons focused on the long ow sound as in snow, blow, and rainbow.
A Multi-Step Activity to Reinforce Learning
This worksheet takes students through a series of fun and educational activities designed to deepen their understanding of the ow digraph:
1. Spot the ow Words: Students begin by reading a sentence and placing a circle around any word that contains the ow digraph. This helps them practise identifying the sound in context and builds confidence with reading longer sentences.
2. Build New Words with ow: Next, students are given letter prompts and must add ow to complete each word. This reinforces spelling
patterns and helps children see how the digraph fits into a word structure.
3. Solve Clues with ow Words
Finally, students are given simple riddles or clues like “A colourful arch in the sky.” and must write the correct ow word (in this case, rainbow). This part builds vocabulary, comprehension, and phonics knowledge all at once.
