What this sheet practices
Words with consonant blends and digraphs are shown with missing letters. A blend keeps both sounds (st in stop); a digraph makes one new sound (sh in ship).
Errors worth watching for
- Treating 'sh' as two separate sounds.
- Leaving out the second consonant in a blend when spelling.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

About this generator
What is the difference between a blend and a digraph?
In a blend you hear both letters, as in 'bl' in blue. In a digraph the letters make one sound, as in 'sh' in ship.
Which patterns are included?
Common l-, r- and s-blends, plus ch, sh, th, wh and ck.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
