Digraphs and CCVC Word Strips – Free Decodable Phonics Fluency and Reading Practice

Guided Phonics + Beyond

Unit 3 - Digraphs

Free digraphs and CCVC decodable word strips. Use them with a sand timer or as quick fluency boosters for phonics decoding practice.

These Digraphs and CCVC Decodable Word Strips give students fast, effective fluency practice with fully decodable words. Each strip is filled with words that feature digraphs and CCVC patterns, allowing students to drill decoding skills and build automaticity. They can be used flexibly—try timing students with a sand timer for fluency races, or use them more casually for daily warm-ups and practice in small-groups.

  • Example words: ship, chop, shed, thin, sled, grab, twig, drum

  • Students read down the strip, blending each word sound by sound

  • Perfect for timed decoding drills or informal fluency building

  • Supports orthographic mapping and automatic word recognition

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

  • Aligns with the science of reading for explicit, systematic phonics instruction

These word strips keep practice short and targeted, while giving students repeated decoding opportunities with digraphs and CCVC words.
