This winter digraph activities task cards pack includes three engaging digraph phonics games designed for Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade.

Students look at a winter-themed picture, say the word, read two CVC words, and clip the word that matches the picture.

Students say the picture name, clap each sound they hear, then build the word using the included letter tiles or plastic letter manipulatives.
