Beginning WH Digraph Worksheets - Fun Phonics Practice for Kindergarten & Grade 1

What is a beginning WH digraph?

A beginning WH digraph is made when the letters W and H come together at the beginning of a word. They work as one sound in many common words.

Some examples are:

• when
• whip
• whisk

Children can sound out these words like this:

• /wh/ /e/ /n/ → when
• /wh/ /i/ /p/ → whip
• /wh/ /i/ /sk/ → whisk

Learning WH digraph words helps children become stronger readers and builds confidence with phonics.
