Sentence Rewrites

The Sentence Rewrites worksheet strengthens students’ phonics and writing skills by asking them to identify and correct words with incorrect beginning digraphs. Each sentence contains one digraph error, and students must rewrite the entire sentence correctly, replacing the incorrect digraph with the proper one. This sentence-level approach reinforces not only accurate digraph usage, but also grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and overall writing fluency.
