327 Free Phonics Worksheets - PDF Printables

Phonics involves teaching and learning the skill of reading by focusing on the relationship between sounds and letter formations.

This collection of free phonics worksheets contains 11 sets of common phonics activities, graduated by ability level. Each set contains multiple different pages to cover all possible combinations required for learning phonics at school or home!

The phonics concepts covered are listed below:

CVC Set (20 Pages) – CVC words are words that contain a consonant, vowel, then consonant, such as “dog”.
CVCE Set (9 Pages) – CVCE words have a ‘silent e’ at the end, which causes the preceding vowel to be sounded out as a long vowel.
Short Vowel Set (16 Pages) – Short vowel words are words where the vowel is sounded-out in its short form, such as “hat”.
Long Vowel Set (8 Pages) – Long vowel words are words where the vowel is sounded-out in its long form, such as “cake”.
Magic E Set (13 Pages) – The magic e turns a short vowel into a long vowel, such as “cap” vs “cape”.
Consonant Blends (22 Pages) – Consonant blends are sets of consonants that pair with one another to make a blended sound, such as “gr” and “bl”. Note that you hear both letters distinctly when sounded out, unlike digraphs.
Digraphs Set (53 Pages) – Digraphs are sets of letters that pair together to make one sound, such as “th” and “sh”.
R-Controlled Vowels Set (58 Pages) – This set contains words where the vowel immediately precedes an ‘r’, such as ‘or’ and ‘er’. In these instances, the vowel is blended with the r, with the result that it neither makes a long nor short vowel sound.
Word Families Set (100 Pages) – Word families are groups of words that share common base patterns, such as “at” in cat, hat, rat, and sat.
Prefixes Set (10 Pages) – Prefixes are added to the beginning of a stem word to affect its meaning of usage, as in “unsettled”.
Suffixes Set (10 Pages) – Suffixes are added to the end of a stem word to affects its meaning or usage, as in “colorful”.
Root Words Set (8 Pages) – Root words are the words we can identify before suffixes or prefixes are added.

All the worksheets are designed to be printed onto regular US Letterhead paper (the sort of paper you’d put into your at-home printer!). Make sure you select the “shrink to fit” option when printing to avoid any cut-offs on your print.
