Digraphs and CCVC Clip the Sound Cards Free Phonics Activity with Color-Coded Boxes

These Digraphs and CCVC Clip the Sound Cards help students identify where a sound occurs within a word. Each card shows a picture and a target sound. Students say the word, listen carefully, and then clip the correct colored box to show if the sound is at the beginning, middle, or end. This activity blends phonemic awareness with phonics decoding and is fully aligned with the science of reading.

• Example: shell → sound /e/ is in the middle → clip the yellow box

• Green box = beginning sound (example: /sh/ in ship)

• Yellow box = medial vowel sound (example: /e/ in shell)

• Red box = final sound (example: /p/ in clap)

• Encourages active listening and precise phoneme placement

• Great for small-groups, intervention, centers, or at-home practice

• Works well with clothespins or colored clips for a hands-on routine

These cards give students a clear, interactive way to connect phonemic awareness with word-level phonics decoding.
