Free digraphs and CCVC sentence pyramid sheets. Students expand sentences step by step to build decoding and fluency.
These Digraphs and CCVC Sentence Pyramid Sheets give students structured practice with fluency and decoding. Students begin with a single word and expand line by line until they are reading a full decodable sentence. This approach builds confidence, fluency, and comprehension while reinforcing word-level phonics.
Example:
I
I wish
I wish for
I wish for a
I wish for a fish.
Includes a variety of digraphs (ship, chop, thin, wish) and CCVC words (frog, sled, clap)
Encourages repeated reading of decodable text for fluency building
Supports phoneme-grapheme mapping in context
Great for science of reading-aligned small-group lessons, centers, or at-home practice
Can include a final box for students to illustrate their sentence for comprehension
These sheets make phonics practice engaging and purposeful by moving from word-level to connected text fluency.
