Color Twins Answer Key

The Color Twins worksheet helps students recognize and group words that begin with the same digraph. Learners examine a list of words, identify pairs that share an initial digraph, and color each matching pair using the same color. By pairing words such as shell with ship or whale with wheel, students strengthen their ability to categorize vocabulary by spelling and sound patterns. The coloring component adds engagement while supporting fine-motor development and visual organization.
