Digraph Builder Cards – Free Phonics Word Building with Color-Coded Sound Dots

These Digraph Builder Cards give students hands-on practice with word construction using a simple, color-coded system. Each card is designed to highlight beginning digraphs, medial vowels, and final consonants with sound dots. Students build, read, and blend the parts together to form a complete word, strengthening their decoding and spelling in a science of reading-aligned routine.

• Example: sh (green dot) + in (yellow dot) → shin (red dot)

• Other words may include: shop, ship, chat, shed, math

• Students match sounds to dots: green = beginning sound/digraph, yellow = vowel, red = final sound/digraph

• Encourages phoneme-grapheme mapping through visual and tactile practice

• Perfect for small-groups, literacy centers, or one-on-one intervention

• Supports spelling, blending, and fluency by chunking word parts

This freebie makes decoding visual and interactive, showing students how digraph words are built sound by sound.
