🔍Twelve skills, five pages each, and one predictable routine that takes students from the FLOSS rule to ending -nk. Children tap the sounds, map them to letters, read real sentences and write words from dictation, so each spelling pattern is heard, seen and written.

Digraphs & FLOSS Rule Word Work is a structured literacy phonics resource for kindergarten and 1st grade, with a natural fit for 2nd grade review. It gives students steady, systematic practice with the spelling patterns that usually come right after short vowels.
The 60 worksheets are organized into 12 sequential skills. Students begin with the FLOSS rule and the -all, -oll and -ull families, move to ending -ck, then work through sh, both sounds of th, ch, wh and ph, and finish with ending -ng and -nk. Two review skills along the way pull earlier patterns back in.
Every skill follows the same five-page routine. Tap & Map pages build phoneme-grapheme mapping, so students see that sh is two letters for one sound. Fill the Sound and Look-Alike Words sharpen attention to the exact spelling, Yes or No? moves the pattern into sentence reading, and Real or Silly? adds dictation.
Because the routine never changes, children spend their effort on the sounds and letters, not on new directions. That consistency supports orthographic mapping and makes the pages easy to use in small groups, literacy centers, RTI and intervention, tutoring or homeschool.
Teachers get a 12-week word work plan, a guide with a daily 2-minute routine, a Digraph Sound Chart, dictation lists and answer keys, all in a 71-page black and white PDF.
