Digraphs and CCVC Write It Cards – Free Color-Coded Phonics Writing Practice

Guided Phonics + Beyond

Unit 3 - Digraphs

Free digraphs and CCVC write it cards. Students say the word, tap the sounds, and write letters in color-coded boxes for decoding practice.

These Digraphs and CCVC Write It Cards guide students through a structured decoding and spelling routine using a color-coded sound box system. Students say the picture word, tap out the sounds, and then write each sound in its own box. The color cues help them focus on sound placement and phoneme-grapheme mapping in a science of reading-aligned way.

  • Example: chip → ch (green), i (yellow), p (red)

  • For blends/CCVC: frog → f (green), r (green), o (yellow), g (red)

  • Green = beginning consonant(s) or digraph, Yellow = vowel, Red = final sound

  • Students build words sound-by-sound while reinforcing handwriting accuracy

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

  • Laminated cards or sheet protectors allow for repeated use with dry-erase markers

These cards turn handwriting into an explicit decoding routine, helping students connect phonics to writing in a multisensory way.
