Write and Colour sh Words
Helping young learners recognise and practise digraphs is an important step in building early reading and writing skills. Our free worksheet, Write and Colour sh Words, is designed especially for Kindergarten and Year 1 students who are learning to read and spell words with the sh digraph.
A Simple and Engaging Activity
This no-prep worksheet invites students to explore sh words through a fun and visual approach. It’s perfect for introducing or reinforcing the sh sound in a way that’s both educational and hands-on.
How it Works:
-
Students are given word endings that are missing the sh sound at the beginning.
-
They write “sh” at the start of each word to complete it (e.g., _ip becomes ship, _ell becomes shell).
-
Once they’ve written the word, they colour in the matching picture, helping them connect the word to its meaning.
