The SH digraph is one of the first consonant digraphs children learn, typically introduced in late kindergarten or early first grade. Unlike blends where each letter keeps its sound, a digraph combines two letters to make one new sound. In the SH digraph, the letters S and H work together to produce the /sh/ sound heard in words like ship, shell, and fish. These free SH digraph worksheets provide four types of structured practice aligned with the Science of Reading: a decodable passage embedding SH words in context, a word sort distinguishing initial SH from final SH position, phrasing practice cards for fluency building, and a rapid naming (RAN) chart for automaticity. Each worksheet is designed to be printed on standard US Letter paper.
